      SCOOP: the Seattle government is deliberating concealing home many homeless have migrated into the region. Through a public records request—and threat of a lawsuit—I've obtained the bombshell statistic that shows 23% of King County's homeless migrated from out of state. 🧵

      This all begins with the Seattle/King County 2020 homeless survey. I noticed deep in the survey appendix the questionnaire asks the homeless where they last had stable housing. But the report *doesn't include the results of that question.* So I filed a records request.pic.twitter.com/hLBW0rOxk6

      This has long been a contentious topic on homelessness. For years, progressive activists have denied that there is any significant migration because of their enabling policies. They said the "magnet effect" is just an illusion. I knew the data would reveal a surprise.

      After I filed my records request, the county deliberately stonewalled, delayed, and flat-out denied that the data existed. So I raised the stakes and threatened to sue the King Government and the public records officer for "obstructing a legal records request."pic.twitter.com/hmTnP9XkKb

      Finally, they relented and released the bombshell statistic: at least 23% of King County's homeless migrated to the region after becoming homeless *in another state.* The magnet effect is real, profound, and devastating to the premises of progressive policies.pic.twitter.com/WfbLUgY79s

      Here's the shocking part: Seattle's political class deliberately hid this statistics from the public because it violates its preferred political narrative. Seattle's policies have drawn more than 2,700 homeless from out of state—and they buried the truth.

          Why? Because it's big money for the homeless-industrial complex. Remember: the Seattle region spends $1 billion a year on homelessness. So that's $216 million per year to support out-of-state homeless migrants. All to line the pockets of the activist class.

          Enough is enough. It's time to expose the activist class that exploits the most vulnerable and weaponizes "compassion" against taxpaying citizens. I'm going to keep fighting for the truth—I hope you'll join me.

          The Seattle Times most recently reported that only 5% of the homeless are out-of-state migrants: the newspaper, parroting the activist rhetoric, is dead wrong. The activist class knows the truth, but they control the machine that can conceal it. TIME FOR SOME SUNLIGHT!

          I think that is a very small number compared to the truth.

          You're probably right. Given the survey response bias on this kind of question, the number is likely much higher.

          If Portland's similar situation is any indication, they've also used $ for institutional preservation, not service. The instantaneity & thoroughness w/ which any NextDoor link to KOMO's Seattle Is Dying doc'y was met w/ a scripted multi-URL "rebuttal" smacked of paid trolling.
