62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, homelessness rates continue to rise in Seattle, yet the Times continually choses to eschew reality and side with the conservative minority in the city.
During the 7 week strike in 2001 the Times fired striking workers and hired scabs “permanently”. Part of the final deal was to rehire union members and let go of the scabs. But they quickly downsized in the following year, this was really the start of them utilizing syndicated reports instead of having a robust journalism team.
I mean, surely we all already knew that his saying the sweeps and clean up of the area were unrelated was a lie. He should have just been open about it.
Seattle needs to -completely- separate the homeless dilemma from the hands of ALL government agencies. The money just goes down some rat-hole and/or to padding their worthless existence after they do some self-promoting hand-waving. FAIL FAIL FAIL.
Good things don’t happen, just more stalling. For decades. Take it away from the City of Stall.
Helsinki is the same size, and had its program going great guns 5-10 years ago … -big- reductions by then. It starts with a home. A stable place to get your life together.
