[stylist] Romance and Appeal of faraway Places

[William L Houts]

HI Sam,
Just to disabuse you of any fantasies about Seattle:  it's a great city 
and I love it very much, but it's rapidly becoming unliveable by 
ordinary folks with ordinary incomes.  Housing, in particular,is soaring 
in price, at least if you're looking to set down in the city center, 
Queen Anne, Capitol Hill or similarly city hub terrain.
