I hate to spoil a good party, but on present course isn't it more likely for Seattle to become Bombay? Education grows increasingly unaffordable. Sprawl consumes once bountiful agricultural lands with strip malls and subdivisions, making food production more problematic, basic industries like aerospace are threatened by greedy executive exoduses and force reductions, the dot.com miracle devolves into software engineers operating barista kiosks on street corners, the timber, lumber and pulp industries continue their inexorable slide as natural resources are stripped to the bone, fish which were formerly in surplus in the region are now nearly extinct.

I just know what I see. Whatever gives you the vision of a paradise for 300% more people consuming even at present levels escapes me. The resources have been used up. And all of human existence has only one basis. The exploitation of nature. When she's gone, she's gone.
