Have you been to Seattle? It's out of control here. My sister - who lives in San Francisco - visited here and couldn't believe how much more severe the homeless problem is here compared to SF.
- techsupporter 10y agoThe homeless problem is more visible in Seattle because we have rather little indoor services for them and the services we do have also come with a lot of rules that people are unwilling or unable to follow to get a bed. Combine that with the grudging acceptance of "well, people are just going to sleep under overpasses and park RVs everywhere," and you wind up with more people sleeping outside compared to other parts of the country. On the one hand, people need services and I want to help them. On the other, it would be nice to be able to go to various parks' trailheads without walking through someone's "living room."
