When considering this, I can see how somebody would be attracted to something new instead of buying an old house that has a bunch of problems and will cost gobs of money just to fix it up.<br><br>Also, if so many of us hate the these kinds of structures in Seattle this much, why are we letting the City issue permits for this kind of construction? As well, can we be that mad when it\'s Seattle-area companies that are sponsoring and building these structures? To me, it doesn\'t really seem fair to blame the people who are moving into these vacant homes that are for sale.<br><br>And on that note (as a person who is saving to buy a house), consider that new home prices are always going up. Just because people have to unfortunately super-pay a high price to obtain a new home now days doesn\'t necessarily mean they are a "snob" or "yuppie". After all, some people have money because they have lived frugal lives, instead of ones with $12 mixed drinks and $150 T-shirts.<br><br>We need to realize that we aren\'t  the only city that this is happening in and that this has gone on in. And, especially, we need to open our eyes to the fact that we aren\'t a small town anymore. I don\'t understand us sometimes. On the one hand we love to tout how "urban" we are, yet when any kind of continued urban growth happens we freak out and feel violated. The same thing goes with our opinion of the people who move here. We are proud that we are a "melting pot", yet we demonize the people who move into our neighborhoods from another place and call them "snobs" or "jerks" or whatever.<br><br>Just some thoughts...<br><br>Thanks all!  :)</div>\
