now all of a sudden the entry point is $1500. which is considerable for artists anybody. you know, that s the sort of lament now is, where are you going to go? where are you going to go? where are you going to go? anthony: right. so, all these outsiders are coming in, renting expensive apartments. what kind of businesses are opening to accommodate these new arrivals? john: well, in this neighborhood, that construction over on that side is a whole foods. anthony: oh no, that s a sign of the apocalypse. john: that is the end. anthony: that s the official is john: that s it right there. [ restaurant clatter ] john cook: because of the boom and everything that s been happening, you do have that kind of have and have-nots here. and i think there is an identity crisis where people are starting to really question what is seattle and who is it? but historically, you go back to the 90 s, i mean it was the city of grunge. and now i would say it s the city of geeks.
the total dollar generating space on the internet is occupied by porn? john: well, you know, this is todd s expertise, so i ll defer to him. todd: historically the adult industry, even if it s not completely dominating the economics all the time, it is the leader of technology. it s the first with hd, it s the first to try out a new wave of 3d technology, virtual reality, augmented reality. and you see it over and over again, the latest is vr and ar. anthony: yeah. do you know the number one search term on porn websites for the seattle area? step-mom. [ laughter ] who wants to their step-mom? [ laughter ] anthony: jen mcewen and jesse adams are two nice people that have chosen the porn business as a way to make a living. they launched mikandi , the
and short rib dumplings topped with pickled shallot and scallion salad. anthony: of course i m hearing from a lot of people who are bemoaning the loss of the old seattle. uh, this invasion of outsiders. john: certainly the community is going through a lot of growing pains, and there is an element of the city here that is rebelling against the progress. especially as we talk about a company like amazon that controls massive amounts of the downtown real estate footprint now. and that s what scares a lot of people here, including myself. because i see how the trends of history change, especially in technology. that one day microsoft is hot, the next day apple is hot, now amazon is hot. they go through these cycles and they don t always live through them. and we re left with a city that is totally transformed because of it. anthony: what percentage of
a low opinion of these people. astra: well, we re generalizing now, tony. anthony: i m all for that. [ laughter ] everybody in seattle is a musician, a serial killer or a chef as far as i m concerned, so. anthony: in a lot of ways, this was always a company town. you know, boeing, before boeing it was a logging town. the new company is tech and it is flooding money into the place. i look out my hotel room window and i mean there are cranes as far as the eye can see. dustin: you realize, like, okay, all those cranes out there are for high-rise condos, they re for a certain type of person. they re envisioning a certain type of future for the city and it s tech people. anthony: or, you know, somebody who likes to drive around and pick up hitch hikers and dismember them. [ laughter ] capitol hill is seattle s established gay-borhood, going back to the mid-1960 s. old-school cool but with every passing day change.
