It's not Yeats's centre that cannot hold, it's the right wing. For some time now, to quote The Second Coming,

Further signs of unraveling: GOP house organ WSJ discovers that business interests no longer trust the GOP. Smart, those corporate business guys. Like all bullies, they can smell fear. Like all cowards, they know when to run.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how Pike Place won this honor:
a.) It's not even considered a neighborhood.
b.) The only housing there is either subsidized or for the extremely wealthy.
c.) Crack. Deals. Everywhere.
