    when they could easily be better


    We’re listening.
    ....Not shit in the streets?
    Which Seattle politician advocates people shit in the streets? I’m not voting for that.
    Bellevue doesn’t have shit all over their side walks. Why can’t we try what they’re doing?
    I guess I never realized what a nirvana Bellevue is. Why don't people from Bellevue agree?

    It's all solvable and these virtue signaling politicians don't do anything. That's why people get angry.

    Stop handing out free shit and needles, or at least do it with a stipulation that you can't commit crime.

    Actually enforce laws, or allow cops to. Sorry if you're homeless. I've been pour too at times. It doesn't give anyone a free pass.

    The economic stuff is more complicated, but the head tax seems dumb. I don't have a problem with taxing the rich more in general

    So just get tougher on people. I'm surprised no one thought of that.

    Holding people accountable to existing laws isn’t getting tougher on them, it’s enforcing a standard.
    Who should do it? The SPD can barely respond to anything that doesn't involve immediate injury anymore.

    It's almost like some of you think more government is the answer, but that can't be true.

    If you actually watched the KOMO documentary, there was a lengthy segment on the hand cuffs (pun intended) that the Council has put on the SPD in enforcing the laws. The City Council doesn't want enforcement nor does the mayor.

    Regardless, the force has gotten smaller as a the City has grown. At some point, it doesn't matter what they're allowed to do. There aren't enough of them to do it.
