Last week, Seattle and King County leaders hired transgender stripper Beyoncé Black St. James to perform at their annual conference on solving homelessness. Here's how they're using taxpayer money:pic.twitter.com/J0lCKVVfgO

For years, Seattle has claimed that it "needs more resources" to solve homelessness, but as the video shows, they find it totally appropriate to pay for a transgender stripper to grind on members of the region's homelessness nonprofits and taxpayer-funded organizations.

It's not a lack of resources that prevents Seattle from solving homelessness; it's a lack of leadership. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, King County spends more than $1 billion a year on homelessness programs—but have failed to deliver results for decades.

UPDATE: After this video went viral, the director of the agency resigned. A victory for King County taxpayers.

I find it hard to believe there were taxpayers funded gun shows, but on the off chance it happened it probably made the municipality money. People want to buy guns, nobody wants to see a transgender stripper.

I have found nothing substantiating the 1 billion figure. The entire budget for HUD is about 42 billion. I did find one claim that spending in Seattle is rising to one hundred million. Which would still be $8300 per person.

They have gotten exactly the results I would expect and predict from spending like that. They have bought themselves more and worse homeless.

I'm in LA. I can say first hand the politicians do not give a rats ass about the homeless situation, or any type of city ordinance that isn't directly pushing a marxist agenda
