Better get rid of inslee
Nowadays street homeless are fentanyl addicts, and they are not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is nor living in housing. They would destroy it in no time. Where I live, street homeless break into unoccupied houses and destroy them by pulling wall wires out and cutting metal pipes just to sell for fentanyl. Fentanyl addiction is extreme in every possible way, and destroys humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. many will die from fentanyl overdose, poor health, or drugs related violence. Fentanyl addicts gradually destroy everything around themselves. The only thing they really wanna is to be as close as possible to their fentanyl suppliers.
I mean whose to say that the state isn't lying?
They are lying

Who’s.
@@williamwilson6499 "Whose" is the proper word to use. "Who's" is a contraction linking the words who is or who has, and whose is the possessive form of the pronoun who. The more you know!
@@SniffHeinkel Are you joking? The initial comment should read, “I mean, who is to say that the state isn’t lying?”
And you think it is proper to say, “I mean, whose to say that the state isn’t lying?” Whose what, genius?
Think before saying something stupid.
That makes it official. This was the only mayor in WA that the state hasn't called a liar because of a lack of criminal prosecutions and an abundance of misused homelessness funds. Inslee isn't just criminally negligent but he is THOROUGHLY criminally negligent. Inslee and King County have victimized all of western WA attempting to keep criminals safe and house them in the surrounding "homelessness" communities. He has not only had the highest murder rates of any Governor in history but also the most protests from his constituents. I didn't even know exactly how many Mayors we had in western WA until they all signed letters of demand for action. Both Inslee and Constantine have called all of them liars. Vote tonight. The survival of our state's democracy depends on it.
Send them to the governor's mansion 👍
Not sure Joey was the best way to get people to care about the homeless. We want to help people that want to help themselves.
Well joey's also an addict. Lots of help available to get clean or on medically assisted treatment. Theres a free clinic right there in Everett. Helps available to him at any time.
Typical Seattle, lets push their problems to other cities and deny they have a problem. She is right. Vote today and get these people out of office.

Everett is 20 miles north of Seattle. It's not even in the same county.
WOW, you want to clear it up. WHen you arrest them. Check them for drugs. If they have drugs or are caught they go to rehab or jail.
Boston turned an old naval base into a shelter, has three floors of bed space, cafeteria/kitchen, medical facility, police station.
There are buses all around the city that make certain stops that go to the shelter which is on an island. Also if they wish the homless can stay at the shelter during the day as there is no " 6am kick out" and buses run into the city throughout the day.
Homeless is not to be ignored!!!!! We need low income housing we need jobs!!!!! There are retirees low income and unemployed!!!!
Not doing enough inslee.. it's a mess
Being homeless myself 15 years ago these people want to be out there for 1 reason or the other. Maybe they have drug issues, maybe a woman who can get help chooses to stay with her BF because they won't help couples, maybe they have mental health problems and choose that because it easier for them because they don't trust people. Homelessness is the result of some underlying issue. Treat the problem(they have to themselves we don't have enough resources)the person has and the rest falls in line I got clean made better choices and built myself up and up now I'm married and have a seven y/o. The
Not everyone who becomes homeless enjoys being in that situation. Some do. Some people give up and just want to get drunk or high. During my period of homelessness, I met quite a few people. I hated everything about it, and I knew others who worked hard to get off the streets every day. Some of them had their kids with them. Some homeless people are just trying to survive. It's terrible enough that most people in the United States believe being homeless makes you a burden on society. Please do not contribute to the perpetuation of that stereotype.
Nearly 20 years he can't get help because he doesn't look to help himself he looks for handouts
All you have to do to see things as they really are is be Anywhere near the Motel 6, next to the Park n Ride, in South Everett @ 128th & I-5 & you can watch all the Outcasts of Society stream In & Out all day long, which is, also, where the Police dump off all their Catch & Release repeat offenders !!!
The Government should build Slab Wall Buildings with dormitory style rooms as a Government Operated SRO (Single Room Occupancy) Hotel. Charge $300/month so people have to work and have enough money leftover to save to move into real housing. Have Homeless Services offices in facility too. This gets the Tents off the streets and provides Privacy, Lockable Security, Heating, Water and Lavatory/Bathing for the individual. Also you have Counseling there too. Easier to deal with individuals there vs visiting encampments.
A typical Shelter is a Room full of beds, so no privacy and safe storage of your stuff. They take in people for the night, feed them breakfast and ask them to leave so the shelter can get ready for the next day. If people aren't working, they hangout in the neighborhood and "bum around" to say it politely. Given a Shelter vs your own tent with your stuff and people you kind of trust around you - tent is an easy choice.
If it's a SRO, they have their stuff and a place to hangout for the day.
Also don't make the SRO too nice, they will stay forever. Be smart on it's location.
Problem with this is it creates exponential demand.
Most don't want that, it would mean rules
What does the Government have to show as Solving the Unhoused crisis after all the Good money is poured down the drain with the policies we see now? Expensive housing, downward spiraling Drug Addicts, Mentally Unstable people roaming the streets and Repeated Criminality so Unhoused people can survive.
The Slab Wall buildings SRO with 2 or 3 floors has merit with better land use density than a Tiny Homes Village and will last longer. It's better monitored and with $15/hr min wages, easy to get $300/month rent. Organize residents work parties on city cleanup projects. Having facilities like this means you can put pressure on the Scofflaws who don't want to follow the rules.
One day it will come to this. For now too many people profit off the system as is (government regulation agencies, landlords, anyone in the construction business, etc.)
You fail to remember this is about drugs...not rent raising. Drug addicts have tents, rv's...friends to be with. People "stand around" all day because they are high and waiting for the Dope Man on his stolen BMX bicycle to cruise up and sell their junk to them. Why give up no rent, no bills and free church food just for an apartment? How you going to buy drugs when your paying PUD. This is the top mistake that people ignore or just don't want to deal with it.
You need a job to get money, you need money for an apartment, neither of which will ever be solved because they are drug addicts. And these Churches who encourage this needs to freaking stop. They don't help anybody, they just encourage it. I personally think if these churches really gave a crap they would gather all these people, move them out on their own property and continue feeding and allow the drug use. I mean, Churches have shitloads of money since they don't pay any taxes so they should be responsible enough to do the "Christian" thing and keep these people from making the rest of our lives Hell. Its a freaking drug problem and thats it. These people NEED to get sober for Pete's Sake....
I remember the topper motel.
I knew the manager Kevin. He told me the cops raided that place and seized the property.
Drug test negative? You receive help, drug test positive? You go to jail. Sober people will help us help them, drug addicts can and will destroy EVERYTHING IN THEIR PATH!! Common Sense!

You gonna pay the extra $3,500 on your property taxes to pay for 1,300 incarcerated homeless people? Jail ain't free. In fact it's rather expensive.
Everett has always been cruel to the homeless. It is actually illegal to camp there. I know I was homeless in Everett between 1996 and 2004. The cops there will go to any length to reach their quota, and harassing the homeless is a bonus for them. In October 2000 I was once arrested for criminal trespass, which at the time carried a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail. I was set up. It was at a business college across the road from the police department called Henry Cogswell College. They told me I could visit their library, and then they called the police, claiming I was told to leave and that I came back 5 minutes later. The cops didn't care to hear my side of the story, and I was arrested and booked in the Snohomish County Jail. The judge, Tim Odell, who hated me, threatened to give me two years if I didn't plead guilty. I pleaded guilty because I didn't want to go to prison. I spent nine months at Yakima County Jail. When I got out, I was told by a lawyer that what they did to me was illegal imprisonment but that "no lawyer worth their degree would go up against the city." So nine months of my life are just gone because someone had a grudge against me. One of the finest days of my life was when I was able to get off the streets. The happiest day of my life was the day I moved out of Everett. Screw that town.
Cost of living, wage stagnation, wealth inequality and corporate capitalist greed is what's causing this people. It's not hard. My 2 bedroom low income apartment in Everett has gone from $1200 to $1750 just recently. To afford that people would have to be making atleast $32/hour and people here damn sure didn't get pay bumps. The income limit for POOR apartments for my family of 5 is $86,000 a year BEFORE taxes. That's considered poor now!
You want to curb homelessness? Crack down on corporations buying up the housing market, jacking up prices and/or implement rent control that aligns with people's actual incomes. Otherwise, families like mine will be the next in line to be homeless.
And the Survey says: DING DING DING DING!! ✅
All these “affordable housing” complexes being built everywhere are ridiculously unaffordable. The “affordable” studio I was in was almost $1100/ month with just trash included. Parking was $100+ per month, utilities easily reached $70/ month and that was when I used the gym shower and flushed once or twice a day/ didn’t use heater in the winter.
Now the same complex wants $1200-$1300 for the SAME unit. It’s under 460 square feet. For a studio apartment.
My grandma and great grandma used to have a super small/ built in the 70s 2 bedroom in Monroe. It was under 1,000sf. They paid around $1200 a month for years. Suddenly the new landlord jacked the rent up to $1750 and told a 70+ year old that her 100+ year old mom didn’t quality to live there anymore. I live in less than 20k/year and am amazed at what apartment complexes think is “affordable.”
@@camp-bepsi3926 Exactly. The Real Estate Industry and the Property Managment Industry For Over 20 Years Are the Major Part of Destroying Lives. Totally Unaffordable. Terrible to Read on Yelp what these Property Management's have Done to Hard Working Tenants the Last 14 Years.
So true, Amen!
You can easily afford to pay more. Stop buying fancy food.
Nonsense
More homeless more taxes..that's what politicians wants..more crime higher prices..this Governor all he does is talk talk talk...He loves taxes !!..raise TAXES that's all in his mouth..what's new🤣🤣🤣
I voted for Mayor Franklin and will do so again.
People selling drugs to them is getting rich
They have shooting galleries, needle exchanges, herion dens, they pretty much encourage the crime in these states.
They should go to the shelters.get clean and back to the good way.

Democrats love ❤️ the homeless community 😮
If you want to give them treatment then give them treatment far away from civilization

@@sarbantz exactly why they need to be out of site or jailed
We will all be better if WSDOT stops pretending to be compassionate Goddess and focus on what they should do... which is building transportation infrastructure.
Joey is a tweaker .
Spokane is suffering the same ignorance and tolerance of unacceptable conditions and behaviors .. joey is a hustler. He'll con ya right out of his next fix
Stop giving em MONEY and food stamps they won’t be homeless !!!
🙏🙏
Solution: Legalize drug use for homeless in an area located away from town. Construct the weirdest looking shelter out of recycled materials built by inmates who could be moved to work release, reroute all donations and funding to the area for food and clothing, assign a portion of the military and national guard to this encampment to organize the drugged up population into a working team that earn not money but purest forms of their drug of choice per day through completed tasks.
All the other nonsense that you all think is difficult to accommodate could be managed by our military and national guard and volunteer networks not to mention inmates who could be on a work release program.
Drug test to get EBT & Benefit’s & handouts etc.👍
That's never going to happen.
Stop selling Marijuana!
Why is there so many homeless people in America? I THOUGHT AMERICAN people were wealthy
You cant be wealthy when your a drug addict,lol! It's commen sense for Pete's Sake. You need money for your drugs and drug addicts refuse to give up their dope and if they have money its not going to rent or bills. And free church food solves that for them. They have tents, and RVs so technically they aren't homeless....but they are drug addicts and thats all they are. People can't be this dumb and shouldn't play this stupid to the drug problem we have, not homelessness. People won't get into homes or apartments or get jobs if they are spun out 24/7.
If we SERIOUSLY want homelessness to stop, then we need to go to the root of all these problems and get people sober first!!! Oh jeez,what a concept, huh?!
If the government can tell us to wear mask or force children to carry a rapists baby full term, then this government can and should force "homeless" people to effin sober up.
You know all that money we send Ukraine nowadays, doesn't anyone realize with that amount of money we could of built facilities, hospitals, affordable housing(for everyone) a hella long time ago then nobody would be making stupid comments. Wake up, this about drugs.
They need reparations for their parents past treatment

Your honest truth. a glaring reality. TH-cam has shown over years that it’s grown across our nation and worldwide, especially where they’re given money.
