Piroshky Piroshky bakery owner Olga Sagan, 38, made the tough decision to close her shop after the shooting. But said she constantly found the entrance blocked with drug users who refused to move – and she says the Seattle Police Department did nothing to help. . .
The McDonald’s on Third Avenue also closed for the safety of their employees.
Unbelievable....
That could explain Democrat cities cleaning out their homeless camps. Killing the tax base could be the motivtor.
Maybe they should pass a law that requires businesses to remain and stay open. sarc\
Nothing but racist and unamerican business owners. /s
How dare they!
That McDonald’s on 3rd was always a rough spot going back to the early 2000’s. It was only open to 4pm and closed because staying open into the evening invited all of the wrong crowd. They even had a private security guard at the door during the day.
Between 2004 and 2010 I spent a lot of time in Seattle on consulting gigs, totaling up to over 2 years of time. It was a nice city back then.
Starting decades ago, cities continue to fail at supporting people and businesses. The port cities just held on longer than others.
Economies are built on taking something from the ground (drilling, mining, lumber, agriculture, livestock), taking something from the sea (drilling, fishing), making it into something (manufacturing, fabrication, assembly), or shipping it somewhere else.
There are exceptions such as tourism, research, education, and receiving things shipped from somewhere else and distributing them.
What does Seattle have to offer?
In 2020 the democrats in Seattle allowed criminals to take over a portion of the city, which they named “CHOP.” The democrats gave the group moral and material support. “CHOP” called for defunding the police.
No one should be surprised at what happened.
Very believable and inevitable. It’s only going to get worse. Snake Plisken retired!
Bttt
What happened to the good old “no loitering” ordinances in urban areas when I was growing up? It was their way of sweeping bums off the streets and send them packing. Destroy their cardboard boxes and force them into shelters. Yup, men’s shelters can be dangerous but better they are dangerous to each other than innocent citizens.
Sounds like a leftist utopia to me. I guess Amazon isn’t woke enough after all.
