Man, okay. I subscribed to your channel yesterday because I moved to Seattle a couple years ago. Figured I’d learn something I didn’t know yet but you’re a “real-estate agent” and before I even watched the video, had to stop right here. And comment. I promise I’ll watch the whole thing but you’re complaining it seems, about Redmond. The most snooty rich area in the entire Seattle area. Mansions galore, right on the north end of Lake Sammamish. I worked right near Microsoft on the lake. Beautiful. Bald eagles flying everywhere, fish jumping, everyone was mostly friendly to me because I worked there but some thought their sh*t didn’t stink. I’m from Hawaii and I know rich people. Some are okay but some are completely irrational. I’ll watch the rest of this video and see if you’re really a good real estate agent, or just a suck up. I’ll be back.
Alright, I apologize for misjudging you. I’m always skeptical about real-estate agents but you were very honest about Redmond and I only know it in recent years and I’m sure it was paradise years ago as most places of this stature was. What I love about the Seattle area in general is that there’s all sorts of people living in harmony. That’s not so true in Redmond but I understand that rich people want peace and harmony no matter what. So do I, but I can’t afford it. I live instead in downtown Seattle and grew up in Chicago but I’ve worked in many affluent rich neighborhoods in Hawaii and lots of cities and the outskirts like Redmond I respect and feel completely safe in. It’s really beautiful there, I felt fortunate just to work there on the lake. Walking past the Microsoft campus to the lake was like how I wish Seattle was. Just peaceful. Pretty. No crime that I saw, the lake with the fog in the morning on my dock was comparable to none. I totally understand the fear you must have that this place might be spoiled soon and that’s not an unfounded fear, I lived in Hawaii in paradise for decades and watched rich neighborhoods turn to slums. I was a marine biologist in my early twenties but I watched this entire country go wrong through the eyes of an anthropologist. Political science was an interest but development doesn’t take long for the amateurs to see. Secrets don’t last long and soon safe places become dangerous. I’m sure you’re not oblivious as to why? The wonderful Republican government made this so. I’ll spare you the details but the gist is about systematically destroying the middle class and then the idiots wondering why there’s so many homeless? They aren’t wondering anything, they caused it and refuse to reverse what they did and think they won’t be affected by it. All that truth aside, I loved working on the lake in Redmond. Besides Hawaii, Redmond was the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Lots of construction, lots of money from Microsoft, lots of really cool old mansions and humble houses on the lake. I’d love to live there but I can’t afford it. Plus my neighbors would not be dependably in reality. Old-school rich people twice removed just like the people on Hawaii Loa Ridge. It’s not their fault, but the rail extension to Redmond won’t help the original tranquility of the place. Microsoft runs it for now and I hope Redmond remains as it is but I’ve already seen in two years, crime go up. A million times nicer than Seattle and I hate when great neighborhoods go bad. I’m always thinking of the solution to this problem and it starts at the source. The government. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood where nobody was homeless. Now it’s all tents. People working the same jobs but their wages didn’t increase as everything else went double and triple the cost of living. What the hell do you think was going to happen? Anyway, sorry for the rant. Redmond is beautiful and I love lake Samammish.
