In reply to the discussion: Amazon - Get The F Out Of Seattle - Take Your Greedy CEO To Hell With You [View all]maxsolomon
(34,585 posts)8. Oh, well that makes your OP a well-reasoned statement.
Bezos' friends include Chinese investors warehousing condos? Real-Estate corporations from all over the US buying and selling apartment complexes and jacking up rents? Individual developer/builders buying small lots to put up 6-packs?
You don't like Amazon, we get it; but back your rant up with facts, not hyperbole. The homeless count in King Co. is <12K. An undeniable crisis, but you're rounding up quite a bit. Unless you're making every county in the state Amazon's responsibility.
