Thoughts?

Mayor Ed Murray, (Seattle Mayor) says the problem (homelessness) has grown exponentially and federal and state help is unlikely.

His solution, increase Seattle property taxes to raise 275 million over 5 years.

Anyone care to explain to my as to the "why" homelessness is increasing exponentially in Seattle?

Obviously, whatever "solutions" are being presented are NOT working. If anything, it would appear to be backfiring.

Freeattle....come and you shall receive.

Throwing more money at the problem is like trying to extinguish a fire with super unleaded.

Murray is a complete ass clown.

him and Inslee have been bitching for a bit now...

24 counties in Washington under state of emergency because of the roads...

new heroin injection center equipped with a nurse to help junkies find those pesky veins so they dont hurt themselves...

have to save all the illegal immigrants too, cant forget them...

and the homelessness...

their solution is to tax WA residents to pay for all that, kinda makes you wonder where the tax money they collect even goes... what about fishing license money? cuz it sure isnt going to our fisheries....

Caring for, studying, advocating for the homeless is a profitable industry. As long as Seattle and King County keep throwing money at the self inflicted problem, there will be those willing to take the money perpetuating the problem. How has the six figure Homeless Czar worked out. If everyone who gets paid to fix the homeless problem actually succeeded at their job, they wouldn't have a job. No one wants to lose their job, so there is no motivation to succeed.

I think Ronnie's quote below sums up Seattle's homeless problem nicely.

They've (liberals) have welcomed them with open arms and a myriad of freeshit. If they didn't get freeshit they'd leave. There's places that give them free beer and a studio apartment, all for doing not a fu.cking thing.

98% of the homeless live in Seattle.

What's the problem?

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.

Agreed.

I read recently that the top 20 non profits that "focus" on homelessness in Seattle pay their CEO's in excess of $100,000+.

If the homeless issue was ever "fixed" there'd be a metric chit ton of unemployed hipsters look to get rich in "charity" work. They'll be slinging their resumes and liberal arts degree with a major in women's studies all over the place looking for a non profit to pay them an extraordinarily high but guilt free salary....with benefits.

I don't give a rat's ass about the drunks and druggies. The one's that have a legit mental illness are the one's I don't mind being taken care of. Very few shrinks take state insurance, and it shows.

I don't get the big issue with it? Seattle is getting free lawn ornaments that kill weeds and help move property from houses while the owners are at work.

Seattle could solve its homeless problem by loading them up on buses and driving to the middle of Kansas and let 'em out on the interstate during mid-winter. Do that a few times and the number of homeless returning to Seattle as homeless will soon dwindle to zero.

They should have done that with Herschel...
