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.
