There are too many homeless people in Seattle but not enough in the Eastside. People claim that spike of homelessness is due to rising home prices. But the housing price has gone up more in the east side, why don't I see any homeless in downtown Bellevue/Kirkland/Redmond? Why don't homeless people just ride 545 to the Eastside? It's not fair that only Seattle take homeless people. Homeless should be load balanced among all neighboring cities. The cities in the eastside should take their fair share of homeless population!!!
Why should eastside take their fair share? A lot of people come here to escape the homelessness, which city of Seattle can’t fix.
Awful weather and too boring on the Eastside. <sarcasm/> Wanna get rid of homeless? Buy everyone a ticket to SF. Nicer weather, night life, lots of places to hang out, top TC, you know.
Seattle had a program where they bought the homeless a one way ticket to CA. Also weather is worse. CA is more liberal so more benefits
Seattle will still buy the homeless a one way ticket anywhere in the US, if they can show they have ties to the other area
Many reasons 1. Bellevue/Kirkland police are doing great job of kicking them back to Seattle 2. There are no many shelters in the area 3. No free food and services provided by the city Free services are like magnet for homeless people throughout the country.
Wait: are you saying that enabling the homeless enables the homeless to be homeless? And if they don’t have to spend the cash they “earn” from aggressive/violent panhandling on food and services, they can buy more drugs, confident their basic needs will be met by well intentioned but poor critical thinkers/shmucks, thus swelling the absolute numbers of homeless and making the problem ultimately worse?
There's probably a lot of factors but I think the social support in Seattle is more readily available
That’s where the Republicans are. They would make the homeless work. Homeless not interested in that.
Last time I checked, the east side district congressmen are Democrats
Seattle legalized it, it's that simple.
Homeless people don’t want to go somewhere that is terrible to be homeless. If you were homeless, you want a place to live that feels safe but is also near lots of pedestrian traffic so you can panhandle for money
They only come to the east side to rob cars and homes for more drug money.
