- seanmcdirmid 7y agoThe homeless problem wasn’t as large in the 80s, violent crime was maybe higher, but property crime seems to have been lower. I worked at 3rd and pine McDonald’s in 94-95 (one of the main hangouts for Seattle’s homeless population back then), and downtown was a lot more sane back then. The policing was much more aggressive than it is today, which I think had a large part to do with that.
