They have talked about it some, seemed reasonable. Also understand why it would not be a popular decision though. Think running a business, and understanding success can be very temporary if you are not careful helps.

"We have had to face other costs than the actual components’ costs of course. The currency conversion, inflation, sourcing of the new component, re-coding the display, re-designing the mounting, new tools etc. are just a few of the “why”. When Teenage Engineering faced the reality of the OP-1’s future, there were only 2 choices: kill or save. We decided to save it. I understand that the new price is a disappointment to many of our fans. But I do hope some are happy that we did not kill it."

My experience has been eerily similar. Moved to Ballard from South Philly at the beginning of the summer, working in Bellevue.

People are so openly hostile I kinda stopped trying to talk to anyone. The "Die techie scum" graffiti all over doesn't really help either.

Seattle itself seems pretty nice. Its a shame this forced isolation is just going to lead to even bigger division.

Maybe we should hang out?
