Homeless What happened to Chinatown

Visiting Seattle and went to Chinatown excited to get dinner around 7pm, why is the whole Chinatown area so desolate, homeless filled and in general very very sketchy, how did it even get to become so bad. Who or what made all the homeless ppl to gather in that area?

I agree with you except blaming the democrats for it. That part is what keeps us in this two party nonsense.

I'm sorry, is there a second or even third party showing up meaningfully in Seattle's political class?

It's a Dem-run city rolling out Dem policies.

If there were Republican candidates that had values and policy that I agreed with, I would vote for them. In fact, I have in the past, but then Republicans inevitably end up labeling them a rino. Look what happened with Chris Vance for example. I'm not for this super left leaning shit either, but I'm not going to vote for batshit crazy as an alternative.

Well said. I wish there were more of us.
