Neither of those things really help when you've got 10 RVs on your street and a random pile of human feces on the sidewalk. or there's someone passed out literally on the doorstep of your workplace. Like...it's just not _actionable_. You're still talking on a group level rather than an individual...and even then, the mere presence of empathy doesn't do anything. > 2) Learn about this crazy thing called "empathy", instead of punching down. I want to call this out specifically, because Seattle's a city that's really filled to the brim with empathy and compassion. Yeah, there are definitely some people that're just concerned with their home value. There's more that really do want to see the problem solved in a way where everyone benefits. It's really easy to berate anyone that's frustrated with the situation. It's a lot harder to come up with solutions that really will work and make them happen. > Not the homeowners, cos heaven forfend we make them pay for anything. I mean...it doesn't make sense to fine the homeowners that most likely had nothing to do with it at all. Fining them just turns them into victims. I'm sure if the police were really interested in finding whodunit, there's enough ring footage around to be able to find out.
