The RESPONSE WE GOT FROM CITYHALL: We are very sensitive to the impact that the SHARE/WHEEL shelter closure is having in our community. However, the City does not have any additional funding for shelter operations. The City’s primary interest is ensuring that the beds we have contracted with SHARE to operate are brought back into operation so that those who are experiencing homelessness in our community are able to access shelter. This interest has been clearly expressed to the men and women of SHARE/WHEEL.
Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with the City of Seattle.
I also received a reply from the city council which said the same Thing that city hall has said. The city is out of money. Well... That's what happens when you spend other people's money.
In addition they will not speak with Scott Murrow, share consultant or anyone from SHARE since he will not agree to follow any of their demands to allow scrutiny from third parties or track outcomes to ensure that homeless are removed from homelessness and placed into housing! In other words, they expect to get our money, with no strings attached!
As for our ultimatum, we were informed that they have looked it over and have decided to do nothing since Scott Murrow, SHARE consultant and his crew will not even agree to the one or two terms by city hall!
Well, Scott Murrow and the rest of Share who claim to care about the homeless and the poor will not comply with even one demand. They will not even allow the city to observe that people in Share are not laying about for years and years in hell but are being liberated, placed into housing getting clean and sober, instead they continue to demand more wonder bread. Demand more of our money and expect no accountability.
They will not even allow us to track results or even be transparent! And they claim to love the poor and the needy.
That's not all, the city is getting fed up with Scott doing nothing and not being willing to sit down and follow the rules and the time is coming this summer to clear out the rabble and have the Salvation Army administer SHARE WHEEL. They'll do a better job.
They won't agree to the ultimatum we offered or to the one by the city which only wants to track outcome results and have a professional on staff. They don't want to show results or merit just get our money and loaf off in their tents and church shelters.
I also found out that in Mid-June they're gonna drive Share out of city administration that they're camping out in and have Share taken over by either the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities.
OH! This is interesting! Catholic Charities agreed to pay their bills and fund most of Share last year in exchange for not promoting abortions or giving out condoms (according to Maurice Share Wheel never did those things anyway and most people just got free condoms and stuff from other sources anyway)which is pretty much it but they said no way! Apparently a few militant dykes from Wheel and "Womyn in Black" got ruffled from it.
So! It looks like next month Share wheel goes the way of Occupy, driven out City administration building after midnight in Mid June with tear gas and flash bang grenades and swat teams! Wish I could be there to pass the popcorn and watch the fun!
Instead of taking care of our veterans and our homeless, we’re spending far more on illegals and so-called “refugees.”

Any Sanders backers in the administration?
Between the homeless tent camps and the dope-smokers, Seattle can be an unpleasant place to visit.
Not to mention the occasional anti-capitalism riot, like with the WTO conference a few years ago.
It’s always the Left that ruins the cities — just compare De Blasio and Giuliani in NYC.
That’s pretty hard to do. Comparing two socialists like Giulianni and Deblasio is like trying to compare Mussolini to Metaxas. Both of them are gun grabbers, both of them support queers and are pro-choice, the only reason things improved under Giulianni is because the city got fed up and demanded action in the form of hiring more cops and other things. Most worked, most didn’t work.
Really, you can’t tell the difference between DeBlasio and Rudy?
What has happened to the crime rates under each?
What is the “broken-window theory”?
Educate yourself, I don’t have time or the patience.
