& what will the "right" do about the homeless??? Pls be specific..
They will follow the enablers, of course.
It's either that, or we implement a program where every registered democrat will be required to take in one homeless person and be directly responsible for their welfare.
We'll call it the "Adopt a bum" initiative.
LA is being overrun by Mexicans. The entire West Coast will be going down together.
They will follow the enablers, of course.

Typical, put the responsibility on someone else...
Not so, Mr. Marx. It's allowing the shepherds of welfare to get directly involved with their customers.Typical, put the responsibility on someone else...
The plan is brilliant, quite frankly.

I did find that adopt a bum funny/clever... When I was a kid that is what we called them but since then I have learned they are not all bums..
Not all democrats support the welfare system as it is & many would like to change it.. bill clinton made changes as have others..
I think many of these folks fell on bad times & can be helped, & yet others are simply mentally ill, & in most of the USA we have two options, jail or the street.
I would think the richest country in the world could afford, as we once did, to provide proper treatment, meds, mental health counseling etc for our homeless citizens, a huge portion of which are Vets..

That's not moving to Seattle, is it? That's not present day Seattle, is it?
I think you are losing context.

Off topic. We are talking about Seattle, not Anchorage or Houston. You really ARE losing context.
I think it’s just having a different opinion than yours. My friends and relatives love Seattle, they still live there.

Irrational. You must clear your paradox. Arguing both sides of a paradox is irrational.
Cranes are not people.
Irrational statement. You must clear your paradox first.
Irrelevant. Cranes are not people. They are not a sign of economic development. If anything, they are a sign of speculation. I simply used China as an example. There are others, such as what happened to Las Vegas.
It's not my fault you are making a false equivalence here.

No, that's what generated this thread, but I live here. I see it happening. I've known this to be a problem long before the so-called fluff piece. What it describes is actually true.
No Spock. It’s not a paradox. Your pronouncement that it is only serves to make your argument that much more flimsy. Having blood and oxygen is good, right? Having food and water is good, right? Having people and construction is good, right? Of course.
Speculation is a bet on a positive outcome. You don’t bet on red if you don’t think the marble will land on it. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it does not.
However, adding capacity to an existing office is not “speculation”, it’s an investment. Building a new multi-million dollar campus? That may be speculation.
You really are not thinking about what you’re writing very much.
As I am not making any false equivalences…perhaps you should stick to subjects you know more about this. Clearly, this is not one of them.

It's really bad now.
Homeless encampments now line either side of the freeway like mini cities as you emerge from the Mt Baker tunnel. The line I-5 on all sides and are underneath it through the downtown area. 2nd ave has become much more dangerous due to the numbers of homeless camps in the area. Practically every park downtown is filled with tents.
When offered work, they refuse it. Crime is roaming more and more unchecked through the streets. The drugs, the crazies, the shootings, the crime...it's all there and it's all gotten a LOT worse.

Where do they live in Seattle? Note there is no personal information being requested here.

Yes it is.
1) more people are good
2) more people are bad
Which is it, dude? You keep saying both. That's irrational.
No. A paradox is not a valid argument. They are fallacies.
Irrelevant.
True. Does that guarantee the outcome? Does that have anything to do with population?
Obviously you are illiterate in probability mathematics as well. Stay outta 'Vegas.
They are BOTH speculation. All investments are speculations.
No, you are locked in a paradox, you are trying to make false equivalencies, and you are losing context while trying to redirect to various strawman arguments.
Yes you are. You are equivocating crane activity with increasing population.
I do know about this. I live here.
So...someone that lives in the Seattle area doesn't know anything about the Seattle area, right? Gawd.

No. You're chanting still.
Why does that matter? Lol My nephew lives in the University district. The others I’m not familiar with their area, just plugged their address into the GPS.
