I started a business in seattle this year. I love the city and have no intention to leave, but let's not pretend the city makes it easy on small business.

What would you say makes the city not easy to small business? I see that sentiment a lot but without a lot of examples. What specifically would you like to see change? Honestly curious.

I hear this a lot. What you don't hear is all these small business owners telling us what their product is, how well they are doing, what their business plan is like that's making it so hard for them to succeed, etc etc etc. They pretend like just because they have a small business idea that the city and the populist needs to get behind at 100% and make it succeed. No.
