How could a stoner states have so many homeless people when they make so much money of pot taxes.
Let them live in metal shipping containers and when the container gets disgusting . Burn the contents, spray it down and let another person move in.
Spin the wheel.
I think you are correct. I was in Seattle for 46 years and remember all of those middle class neighborhoods. It costs a fortune to live in any of them now.
Heck, the house I lived in before I moved to KY 8 years ago was valued by Zillow at around $300k. It’s now at $1,300,000. That’s ludicrous. I still have family there. Wages have not gone up much since I left.
Illegals are not the root cause of CA homelessness. They are an unintended consequence of it.
The article clearly outlines that leftist lawmakers are creating the housing shortage with environmental laws, NIMBYism, rent control, etc.
Thy more free stuff the more people come here. Basic Psych 101.
You too?!
My daughter moved to KY with her husband last summer. They love it. The only time she questioned the move was when one of my other daughters, still in Seattle, announced last month that she’s pregnant. It will be my first granddaughter. She’s calculating air fare costs to Seattle to visit now. :)
I visit there every year since we left. It is strictly for family now. We feel no need to visit downtown or my old hangouts. It’s dead to me.
Ummm... raise taxes?
Open the border to illegals?
Take away guns?
DRUMPF!!!
Whitey’s fault though. Totally racism.
Workcamps.
BUMP
You vote for Sanctuary cities and surprised when they show up?
Stop feeding the problem and allowing it to happen and guess what, they will pack up and move on.
I live near Youngstown, Cleveland, Akron... it’s exactly what happened around there
I’m old enough to remember when it was different
Shut down all the free stuff and they will leave.
Works everytime.
Absolutely no federal taxpayer monies to be involved!
The solution, according to Sacramento, is to provide billions of taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants.
California is governed by criminals and inhabited by fools.
Yea, at times I miss Seattle, but I think what I miss is the memory of the old Seattle. Pre-apocalypse Seattle.
I hear from old colleges, across the lake Bellevue/Redmond is still pretty nice. (But of course, expensive.)

When I was in IT I bicycle commuted to my work location. I lived in Bellevue, Mercer Island, Renton and Kent during the last 20 years I was there and bicycled to Boeing in Renton, Nordstrom and Washington Mutual in downtown Seattle, B of A in Tukwilla, T-mobile in Bellevue and Safeco in the U District. It kept me in shape, but it became too dangerous, thanks to cell phones and, especially, texting.
When I visit the old areas now, they are all just way too congested and, well, not very friendly.
Lemme educate you on homelessness. These are addicts. Dope is their god. An addict will gladly live in a box, tent, abandoned car, whatever. They will gladly step over and around feces daily. They will eschew bathing facilities. They will gladly endure all of the above if it means they get to stay stoned.
Now, cities like LA, san fran, portland, seattle, et al, have all proclaimed addicts can live in those respective cities without harassment and without law enforcement. So, addicts swarm into those cities. Why? Because that's where they can worship their god without harassment.
This whole thing is a no brainer, folks.
Those homeless are probably from Evergreen. /South Park’s “Night of the Living Homeless”
