I specifically asked YOU  to post local articles about it.  You don't want to.  Fine.  How's that CHOP zone looking nowadays?  

Have you ever asked these questions to HT who has probably not posted a link in the last 5 years, if ever?

I told you what to google. You can do it. I have also told you what happened.

The CHOP area is full of bars and restaurants. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. 

There's a reason I ask others to post links.  I want to ensure that we're speaking about the same set of data.  So post a link or don't but don't expect me to just take your word for it, especially regarding a place like Seattle.

Here’s my point sprinkled with my opinion.

Homeless people should not be allowed to set up camp in parks and on the street. It is a complex issue removing people. It doesn’t really solve the homeless problem it simply is shuffling these people around.

In my immediate neighborhood they allowed people to set up tents and structures in public parks during pandemic, or simply looked the other way. These areas were cleaned out years ago.

The people were still homeless, they just went somewhere else and they pop up again every so often in these same spots until they are removed again. I personally don’t have an issue with this but it isn’t solving anything - it’s picking and choosing which areas have to deal with it.

Washington DC has been a complete shitthole since as far back as Marion Barry. It’s a disgrace.  If there’s the democrats, pushing away the hand that’s trying to help.  It’s as if Trump sets these traps.

Pretty sure he was one of the ones on the other board who insisted Antifa/BLM wasn't burning things down because he walked around his block and didn't see anything.

I haven’t been to DC since 2019. Used to get to go there once or twice a year. A great city. Awesome food, the National Mall is a must walk. Smithsonian museums. Never went to the shitty parts as a visitor so not really sure where they are or if somehow the place sucks so bad now.

You're fine if you stay where your supposed to stay. I go there a few times a year only because my Father and some buddies are buried in Arlington. Other than that the museums are probably the only thing worth a damn in that shittthole.

There are still tons of homeless in Seattle, it’s a big city that’s what happens.

In the past few years the latest mayor has worked hard to address this both with programs and expanding housing as well as policies to remove encampments or parked RV’s (I think he’s done a good job and hope he gets re-elected) It’s never enough though and a number of these people just bounce around. 

While it’s ultimately in my judgement a net positive to not have people, many of them addicts or crazy, to be camping out in public areas it’s not really solving any problem it’s just shuffling the deck and redealing.

What I was telling Strike is I saw this first hand in a huge neighborhood park near my house and some of the smaller green spaces. Again in my eyes you got to bounce people who try to set up a tent. I think most people agree with this even in a very liberal city,

You have no idea what a "fascist" is or what "fascism" even means.  It's just another word that's been bastardize to mean "wahh!!!  you don't vote like me!".  GTFO.

Here’s why Donald felt compelled to make up the story about the many people calling him that were previously shut in by roving gangs but now are going to Pizza Hut…all thanks to Donald

Who knows what the fock they are doing, arresting a bunch of homeless people probably. They’ll be out of jail or somewhere else in a couple weeks.

One thing for certain it’s Donald telling you something it’s make believe bullshit.

This is just another example of Liberal hypocrisy. In 2023 DC Mayor Muriel Bowser went before the house oversight committee to discuss crime in the district, her initiatives to reduce it and ASKED THAT CONGRESS GIVE THE MAYER CONTROL OF THE DC NATIONAL GUARD.......IN THE CONTEXT OF USING IT TO CONTROL CRIME. Where was the outrage? What a bunch of cucks.

Roughly 8 in 10 Washington, DC, residents oppose President Donald Trump ordering the federal government to take control of the city’s police department as well as his deployment of the National Guard and FBI to patrol the city, a new Washington Post-Schar School poll finds.

Notably, more than half of those living in the capital city have noticed the increased federal presence and 61% of those people feel less safe as a result of Trump’s action.

Bike-riding youths terrorize Dem-run city as mobs swarm roads, while mayor stays silent on chaos

Boston motorists captured the moment over 100 bikers filled a local highway, stopping traffic and wreaking havoc on the roads.

The incident was initially reported just after 2 p.m. on Saturday, after Massachusetts State Police received a call regarding a group of people on bicycles, electric scooters and dirt bikes in the O’Neill Tunnel, according to WCVB. 

"Here comes [one to two] bikes, then 20 bicycles and we realize there is a whole wagon train of them down the road," Michael Filandro, who was driving on the interstate, told the outlet. "I thought it was a little parade or something going on. There was no escort, no police there. They were blowing through traffic lights, zipping around cars."
