Anchorage AK is dealing with this problem at this very moment. That KOMO report reveals the same MO that is dragging Anchorage down the sewer. I live in Wasilla and see the same thing starting out here. The socialist dems control Anchorage (Surprise) and there is now a ballot initiative to tax alcohol some more to pay for the homeless (drug and alcohol addicts) living on the street. I used to fly down to Seattle on occasion just to get away for a while. Never again unless I am there to catch a flight somewhere else.
That’s the rip. The city councils know damn well what is going on. It’s not “homelessness” that is the problem, it is their progressive ideas, drugs and not letting law enforcement do its job and enforce the laws because liberal judges and DA’s are not doing theirs and not punishing the cretins. The root cause is drugs and lawlessness..
I arrived in Alaska in 1976 and lived in Anchorage for 5 years until I moved to Wasilla when it was still a 1 stoplight town and going to Teeland’s General Store was a major event.
I remember drunk natives passed out all over 4th Ave 24/7/365.
Is that what you’re referring to or has it reached Seattle proportions now? I would think it is too cold to be homeless there during the winter. Of course if there are leftards in charge of the city they probably can’t wait to give away money to the sainted homeless. Have they decriminalized hard drug possession yet?
