Okay, care to back that up?

Okay, care to back that up?
- lazyasciiart 7y agoHa, like you backed up your statement? OK, here's criticism from someone who is pretty damn familiar with street homelessness in Seattle - https://www.realchangenews.org/2019/03/20/komo-asserts-seattle-dying-misery-porn https://www.realchangenews.org/2019/03/20/komo-asserts-seatt... And your claim that it "doesn't advocate" - where on earth do you think everyone got the idea of putting them on McNeil Island?
- Aloha 7y agoWhile, I admit, I did listen to the program some months ago when it came out, I don't recall them advocating a single solution to the problem, their own anchor made it clear that while we should probably be putting more people in jail, mass incarceration wasn't a fix for the issue - I'm struggling to find a transcript for the broadcast, but my memories are pretty clear on it.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoIt was a video. If you just listened to it you missed a lot.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoI think Seattle is Dying is more about mental illness/drug crisis than about homelessness.
- Aloha 7y agoI'd agree with you, yeah
