The far-left blue city of Seattle is bleeding businesses as companies flee to locations that don’t charge crazy levels of taxes. As a result, the percentage of empty office buildings in the city has risen to more than a third. That is unbelievable.
And yet, the people who live there just keep voting for leftist political leaders who only make the problem worse. Mayors are supposed to try to attract businesses to their cities, not cause them to run away to other locations.
As technology allows more and more companies to have remote employees, the competition among cities is only going to become more fierce.
