I live in Seattle and I am just beyond words. I don't want this, nobody I actually know wants this. After reading this I am seriously considering moving elsewhere. I just don't know where. The cities with all the jobs are currently rioting and on the same path, but safe areas have few jobs, and usually pay very little.

There's a term for this: white flight. When the middle and upper class, who historically are predominantly white, flee an area.

It should be called fucking sensible flight. I was born lower class and my family and I worked my way up to somewhat middle. Why should I have to stay in a bad place?
