Proof that liberal policies fail.
Practically a new class of under-achieving society completely dependent on and created by the same state whose years of liberal policies have robbed these people of any sense of personal responsibility. The he’ll if it is these same dregs will continue to vote for and support the same ideological insanity that has rendered them so.
Not to mention very expensive cigarettes. I walk past the shelter twice a day to and from the train. They ALL are smoking and the sidewalk is littered with empty booze bottles. Where are they getting the money for that?
That's why I don't give them any money.
“We are in a moment of our history where decades of service cuts, growing inequality, and untreated mental health and drug [addiction] has finally resulted in a human crisis seen in the history of our city — indeed in the history of our nation,” Murray said.(snip)
Decades of politicians spending the money on their pet projects.
I bet Pioneer Square is a cesspit, or maybe they can help them migrate up to the Capitol Hill area. Lots of socialists up there to help them out.

This post regarding Portland's problems appeared at another website:
Though some will call me uncaring, I named them "human pigeons." They are ubiquitous, begging for scraps (i.e. spare change), defecate and urinate anyplace, and generally unclean. The reasons for their condition are no doubt numerous and debatable. But regardless, their presence in an area that has been redeveloped to serve as a pleasant gateway to Portland is unsettling and only reinforces the city's reputation as a mecca for the homeless, by circumstance or otherwise (such as mental illness, drug or alcohol use, crime, young runaways, etc.
The term "human pigeons" seems entirely appropriate to characterize them.
But not near any of the hating YT destinations like grocery stores, gyms, churches, schools, family diners. These guys need to be cited for not being inclusive and diverse.
When the rains come they head south to CA and AZ for the winter.
Good work if you can get it.
Hawaii, Seattle....is this a trend for Democratic Party run areas?
U.S. income tax haul at record high levels; Obama borrowed $10 TRILLION in seven years; Democrat control of the White House and Senate for most of those years.
Sheesh, what are these “cuts” he complains of? Why haven’t those in control solved the problem yet?
A lot of us have been hurt by the Obama economy. This facade cannot continue unabated. To say there are serious problems is a vast understatement.
When the gov’t starts shedding jobs in a losing quest to survive we’ll know it’s really coming down quick.
Like holding a ticket for $601 or more in the Illinois lottery.
What could possibly go wrong?
Like all other liberals, they want it fixed with “government money”.
He sure has a great history behind him.
A great history of nations bereft of food, jobs, productivity, hope.
I have no doubt that the the homeless numbers have skyrocketed in the past 7 years. If a Republican were in the WH, it would be a drumbeat in the media every damn day.
Paging Bill Gates.
They need your checkbook.
Because Satan was too busy to pose?
I’m sure Seattle had it in the deal that any $15 min wage was to be ‘rectified’ if the policy went south on them.
