    People in this thread bitching on shit on the sidewalks sound poor. There isn't any shit on the sidewalks in my neighborhood. The shit on the sidewalks is overblown. I walked around parts of DT Seattle for a meeting on Thursday -- didn't see any shit on the sidewalks there either.

    To the people that want to try what Bellevue is trying... how about this. We move the King County jail from Seattle to Bellevue, so when all the drug users are released from jail -- they are released onto Bellevue's streets instead of Seattle's.

    Oh, and Amazon isn't moving to Bellevue, they are relocating one or two groups there. They are still hiring in Seattle and I bet total headcount in Seattle will be larger than total headcount in Bellevue for the next 4 decades.

    The software devs that live on the East Side live there because they aren't as good as the Software devs that live in Seattle.




    Walk around San Francisco, especially around Market and Union Square on up to Market and Van Ness. There is shit everywhere.

    Dude really? I took my boy there 18 months ago. Walked all over downtown. Not only did I not see any human shit (Bob has been known to lie, like sitting in an ER full of illegals), I didn't see any needles or anything else.

    Who in this thread has actually seen human shit on the street or sidewalks in Seattle?

    I have. Next time you’re in Seattle walk around Pike Place Market and go down to the waterfront. If you want the full olfactory experience take the elevator. Careful where you step.

    To be fair, I’ve seen human shit on the sidewalks in Detroit and along the boardwalk of Venice Beach, so Seattle is on par with those bastions of poverty and homelessness.

    My wife lived in the bay area when we first got together. I'm up there all of the time for work. I know exactly what I'm in for. And yes, needles, human feces, men with their dicks out in public harassing people, etc. I have seen all of that on my own. When it's just me I shrug it all off as I've lived in plenty of fucked up places. It's a bit different when you have a two year old daughter.

    Yeah, Bob's the one who is known for lying in the tug...

    If it’s such a nonissue why do they have a poop map?

    If it's such an issue, why are Seattle and San Fran downtown's thriving and home values some of the highest growing in the nation?

    If you stay down in the Financial District or in North Beach you'll see some bums but it's no where near as bad as the Mid-Market area. North of Market from 3rd Street West also isn't too bad. It's not bum free but is much better than the Mid-Market area. I was up there over the weekend two weeks back an it's was as bad as I've ever seen and I'm not some babe in the woods.

    Always rich when Hondo the pathological liar claims I'm lying. Weird how people have to take your word that I'm lying about illegals in the ER down here but all I have to do is quote your own words to prove you're a liar Hondo.

    And it's a documented fact that Trump's team met with a Russian team to discuss giving DNC emails and Hillary emails to Trump.
