I have a hard time with people who do not understand that 99% of these people have drug addictions and/or mental illness issues and will NOT live somewhere that they cannot have free reign to do exactly as they please. Years ago the Seattle Police did a video commentary and proved there is no helping these people that do not want to be helped. They want free food, free housing, free medical, free phones, free internet, free access to drugs and alcohol, no accountability whatsoever and will not work even one minute for any of it. Even the bums of old times were better. They knew they were bums.

When we first moved to Seattle in 2017, we naively took big vats of hot potato soup to the homeless encampments.

Didn't take us long to realize there WAS an "H" problem, but it wasn't "homelessness."
