    Hear me out: I’ve lived in Seattle 15 years and it can be annoying, but it’s what you make of it. However, if Business Insider wants to make it look bad, that’s better for all of us here. The fewer people who move here the better.

This is clearly a him problem and I wonder if being a working stiff would have begun tainting his view of NY with time, too.
