        I lived outside Seattle for four years. I witnessed judges soft on crime, & government officials coddle drug users. From what I witnessed, the homelessness problem stems from the drug epidemic.

        Seattle is a mess. Drive into the city on I-90 or I-5 and you'll think you entered a refugee camp

        What are you talking about? Yes, homelessness is a very significant issue in Seattle and Spokane and in most larger cities. Seattle bears zero resemblance to a refugee camp.

        Take a look in the area where I-5 and I-90 connects. In fact, look under any bridge overpass. Also take a look on the south side of the underground entrance or walk along 3rd Ave, just name a few spots

        You are WAY, WAY overstating by describing Seattle as reminiscent of a refugee camp. If you stated the homeless situation in Seattle was bad and deteriorating, I would agree but refugee camp situation is an extreme over exaggeration.

        Stop hand outs bought with money taken from hard working citizens. Try that.

        Ask any economist, if you want more of something you subsidize it. If you want less of it, you tax it. Seattle has consistently rewarded homelessness for a long time. It's only natural that it gets what it has encouraged.

        I don't know why people have such a hard time connecting the dots - look at every single major city run by Democrats with an overwhelmingly liberal population and what do you get? It's always the same outcome. The new biblical plagues aren't locusts, they're liberals.

        Instead of this Trump administration wanting to waste 25 billon dollars it should be used to build homes for these homeless to give them a fresh start.

        We shouldn’t use federal tax dollars to clean up the mess created by progressive, left-wing policies.

        I have A PLAN To solve the HOMELESS CRISS, not only in Seattle however in all cities.....my plan is a NATIONAL campground plan with a series of campgrounds in states that stay warmer year round. SECURITY, restrooms/Showers. Segregation of substance users and NON substance users

        IN los Angeles alone, they were said to have spent 100M on homelessness last yr, nothing changed...if I had that money for my PLAN you would see a change, I suggest we then ENFORCE against BEGGING and sleeping in public as we direct them to the campgrounds. they can come and go

        Well your proposal read “National Campgrounds.” Meaning federal tax dollars. And these campgrounds would first need to be built and then maintained with employees, and then there’s food. If you prevent panhandling they’ll need to be fed.

        Seattle homeless would be put on a bus and shipped off to these warmer weather national campgrounds and hope they’ll stay there. I’d venture to say an easy 75% of them are drug users, so they’ll leave in search of it. Unless you subscribe to the idea of supporting that habit too?

        I think your estimate of 75% being drug users is high unless you call cannabis and coffee drugs. There will be small % people who will try to return to be homeless on the streets, that is where we will enforce. Generally I advocate people have a HOME if they want to use drugs.

        I don’t think so, and weed doesn’t make a person homeless, hardcore drugs and mental illness does. I think 75% is close, but for argument sake, easily 50%. So those 50% will not stay in a campground, they’ll go back to the cities where their habits will be met.
