San Francisco and Seattle share many common threads. Both are politically progressive cities mired in a homeless crisis flanked by a growing unsheltered population experiencing drug addiction and mental illness.
Each city is looking at the other for solutions.
The leadership of each city is has been criticized for not having a plan that works, for not reducing the number of unsheltered homeless, for not getting people into housing, not getting people into drug abuse and mental illness treatment and all without breaking the bank.
Despite increased incremental spending of tens of millions of dollars each year, San Francisco leaders were shocked when results of this years one night count of the citys homeless went up 30 percent from just 2 years ago.

I think I see the problem.

Raising taxes aggressively is the cure for homelessness.
At 80% tax confiscation, people naturally buy homes like crazy.
The bigger the taxes, the bigger the homes they buy.
Especially property taxes, high taxes equals more home ownership, because fat lazy public school teachers need the money.
“It is not a homeless crisis. It is foremost a drug addiction problem and secondarily a mental health crisis.”
And you are talking about the Mayor and his councilmen.
End the crisis. Vote those losers out of office!!
They won’t miss me but Seattle is at the top of my travel ban list. Misery is plentiful there. One woman, making a fool of herself, ruined a reunion of people who she had married into.
Did get to stay in the “Beatles’ Suite,” though.
Nothing like looking to another loser on how to win. To look to another failure on how to succeed.
Imagine looking to Baltimore on how to deal with the rat and rodent problems.
The answer is so obvious to most of the country without experts, analysis or studies.
The answer is to stop electing liberal democRATS to run the shit holes. Coddling the homeless in your own backyard will only make it worse. Start cracking down, cleaning up and kicking people out of your cities who aren't productive.
Otherwise, these cities will continue to circle the drain of their own destruction.
The invaders and cheap h1b plus all the asylum rats are all getting the low income housing, which is contributing to the homelessness issue. Funny how almost no one mentions this little factoid when is comes to homelessness.
why is it “shocking” that “homelessness” increased 30% in SF? Seems to me that it’s only common sense that when you give all of your bums free everything, you’re pretty much guaranteed to end up with even MORE bums ... pretty much like what happens when you feed pigeons ...
Where can we buy some rat growth hormones? I think if they had bigger rats in those cities the problem would take care of itself.

Leftists will be leftists ...
True. Regular Americans can’t get decent jobs in King County. Most jobs that pay a living wage given to H1B Indians and their H4EAD relatives.
Hint: a $12 to $15/hr job at a grocery store or fast food joint doesn’t allow one to live... With room rent $1500 to $2000 a month on most areas like Redmond or Bellevue.
Needed a replacement social security card so went to the Bellevue Social Security Office. SOME 90% were Chinese or Indians getting benefits for their parents they just brought here.
After HR1044 passes, forget about American jobs in some regions. It’s the Make India Great Again bill.
It’s a jobs crisis. Stop importing foriegners for American jobs
