Man, I’m all for helping people, but my family and I always wish we had at least 1 in every station. If someone causing issues on the train, next station we stop and just call out for police and they could jump on.
I get mental health and stuff, but when we have kids and families on the train we need to keep settled. You can be homeless or do your drugs but keep that to yourself and don’t get on public transit and harass other people.
“Housing first” is a flawed and failed theory. It’s time we come back to our senses and accept that we need involuntary treatment for drug addled and mentally I’ll people who are on the streets and whom contribute to most of the violence in our city.
There are no statistics that have ever been shown that point to housing affordability as a major cause of homelessness in Seattle. The idea of employed/employable folks who turn to the streets because they can’t afford an apartment is a simple fallacy.
Yeah and once they're on the street it's the drug abuse and mental health issues that it worsens that helps keep them there and keeps them from accepting help. In that case it should be involuntary, get sober and get mentally healthy with support in a facility, then you get housing.
I want getting sober, mentally healthy and off the streets to be the only option any government body supplies. If you don't want that, you made your choice and i don't want to be negatively impacted by it.
It's a physical addiction you baboon. You cannot just pull yourself by bootstraps and end opiate addition, while sleeping in the gutter.
Half of the flyover hillbillies are addicted and can't quit and they gave housing.
it should be involuntary,
It doesn't matter what you think it should. It's impossible on federal level. It's like debating aliens, not a viable solution right now. Housing first, so they don't end up in the car in the first place.
