      @dans.9295 This is another plot to throw off the citizens of King County from the fact that the homeless issue is not being dealt with because no one can get jobs that can pay enough money and not blow your back out like a flippin' slave.

      So what, would you rather have them try nothing? Every single big city in every state has these issues. Until one city can come up with something that works it will continue to be a problem while growing worse.

      @@dungeek2777 Japan has Manga Cafes. People sleep in those. You pay to sleep. Sure many homeless, like the people sleeping on buses, would benefit from that.
      OTOH, the mentality of littering and hoarding, and collecting crap and building up an encampment and leaving it for public tax dollars to clean up. I don't see why that can't just be considered criminal vandalism and arrest, and make medically sober, the people opting to do that.

    I don’t understand why they keep putting these centers in the most economically important part of the city. Put these centers in places that are more isolated, cost effective/affordable, and less disruptive to the important parts of the city.

      Okay, something the general public doesn't know, if that shelters try to minimize the violence and theft at shelters, in order to keep their funding. More problems=bad reputation=less funding. So you'll have incidents that normally a person would call police for. And instead the shelter staff (who are often times former homeless shelter clients) will type it up, and leave it at that. This is leading to dangerous conditions, especially for naive people new to shelters.

    3rd Street Corridor will never improve at this rate.
    You put these "mental health" and addiction treatment centers in bloody Idaho for all I care. You don't continue to contaminate your downtown business and shopping corridors.
    Over 10 years ago I was flowing in on business to consult with the city and we basically told them that Occidental and Pioneer Square would never improve because there were too many bloody soup kitchens.
    A decade later the pandemic / riots and CAP takeover just made everything 100 times worse.
    If you want downtown to be for those who do not intend to support themselves nor their communities then keep going at this... if you want things to improve clean up the downtown / tourism / shopping areas.
    End of.
