In addition to the temperate climate - not many homeless in Buffalo, NY or Fargo ND, - Freeattle does more to enable the homeless than almost any other US city. If Seattle wants to solve its homeless problem, it needs to make homelessness a very undesirable lifestyle alternative.

Every means of addressing it I read about is more expensive than putting up the homeless people in a decent motel/hotel 365 days/yr. That is beyond fvcking stupid. The article last week discussed tiny houses at $75,000/unit, even though any competent contractor can construct and hook them up for $15,000/ unit. Crazy, just totally crazy sh!t.
