It's been 10 years since Seattle declared homelessness an 'emergency'

The grift that gets better the worse it gets and the longer it goes

Name one recent success story borne of a democratic leaders initiative. They have turned many of their dem run cities into hell holes with open drug use, murder, rape, massive crime, etc. They have virtually zero success on homelessness. It is hard to eliminate it when you are actually supporting it.
BO Care? It is the black hole that everyone on the right said it would be. We were lied to over and over by the rat party and now it is the predicted mess.
Defund the police? People lost their lives over this one.
Higher taxes? It has created pockets of desperation with its massive misappropriation and waste. Increased prices at all income levels.
Open borders? Hundreds of billions wasted. People losing their lives.
Redistribution of wealth? It fails every single time it is attempted.
Government grocery stores? Man Made Global Warming? Etc. etc. etc.
Please, name one initiative that has been a success. There has to be one right? I sure as hell can't think of it.

I don't remember it being that bad 10 years ago.
-
What's crazy too is that since the 9th circuit got overruled there's nothing stopping cities from cleaning it all up.
-
Declaring an emergency frees up funds for accelerated grifting.
Spokane just did the same thing. Total scam/money grab for the homeless industrial complex. Gets them out of having to follow budgeting protocols and contract bidding procedures.
-
There's no money in solutions.
-
Sure, my city cleaned it up as soon as that ruling was passed. It's still a problem but 1/10th of what it was.
-
I'm gonna say that you're wrong about that.
What solutions are you proposing?
-
Just keep doing what isn't working and re elect the dumbfucks doing it
And more money of course
We're at the nothing can be done stage of the leftist bullshit
-
Except spend more money.

Cut the money and enforce the law. They will move on down I5. Pretty simple stuff.

The fact that bums choose Portland and Seattle over sunny southern California tells you something
-
So, the "solution" isn't really to name the problem and do anything about addiction or mental health, as Brandi was suggesting. It's just to make the problem someone else's problem.

Nothing can be done

Obviously, something can be done. You and your gal Brandi are just talking about doing very different things.

Best to not be the last city to figure this out.
-
Do you believe this should be just a game of "Old Maid" played between all US cities?
-
As long as there are cities that will allow this nonsense to continue and encourage it, it will continue. Addicts are happy to be enabled.
-
So, all this US homelessness is just a choice that addicts are making because cities are or aren't doing what?
-
Accepting the homeless in mass numbers to do drugs and shit on your streets is a choice.
-
I agree. And your answer was to have them do these things on someone else's street.
Which wasn't Brandi's answer, to get back to the OP.
-
It's a real mystery
Nothing can be done
Let's raise taxes

No need for sarcasm, old girl. Your "solution" was easy to follow.
-
H equating homeless people to “trash” isn’t a surprise.
Raise taxes, ladies. Dems need more momey to launder since USAID has dried up.

The state of Washington put honey out to attract maggots
-
H could demand answers from the retards he votes for as to how they blew billions while the problem got worse
But he won't
He'll just keep voting for them and blaming me
What a faggot
-
Hard to notice that the dazzler has no solution other than the policies his dem politicians he voted for support. I have no problem kicking out a homeless person in my backyard to the dazzler's backyard because he cares so much.
-
I'm with the liberal here—Brandi Kruse.
Let's name the problem and tell people living on the streets they have lost any agency for the time being to make decisions for themselves. If it includes involuntary commitment . . . oh well. Of course, there is money in it and money would be involved.
But bus tickets to West Linn is the favored solution of the TugCons.

Just put a cork in it
