Seattle where I work has some fantastic scenery as you approach, snow capped mountains in all directions, spectacular lakes and coastline, panoramic skyline featuring the Space Needle and other architectural masterpieces.....and then I get off the bus and look down. Streets littered with homeless meth addicts, human excrement, pools of piss, discarded drug paraphernalia, it's worse than a Junior School sports day obstacle course trying to get to work some days.
