“What we saw today was a continued failure of our city response to addressing the root cause of homelessness,” said Morales.

Aug 3, 2022, 6:09 PMAs encampment sweeps continue to increase throughout the summer in King County, Councilmember Tammy Morales believes the executive office is failing the homeless by not providing permanent shelter.

Morales stated the city has been moving the homeless from one neighborhood to another for years and it only creates a nuisance for neighbors, while shelters are just a one-night solution.“The solution is permanent affordable housing,” Morales said. “Increased workforce housing and places that people can afford. Two, three bedroom apartments that people can afford. We are not building homes fast enough, we don’t have access to mental health services. The shelter system is not a solution.

Throwing good money towards bad. While a spokane developer continues to have havoc reaped upon his huge project, his employee's are harassed, his equipment is destroyed, damaged, stolen, pissed on, littered on with trash and needles... yes! Let's keep coddling the homeless.

The answers requires MORE MONEY since nobody wants their taxes raised, its just going to be a problem and fodder for people looking to shit on Seattle and other cities that try to provide health services and other assistance, opposed to jail and punishment

Responsibility for this fiasco belongs to Seattle voters... every Seattle voter should willingly, on his own dime house one of these drugged out souls!
