Hawaii has the highest homeless rate per capita in the entire nation. Is Hawaii dying? Yes or No? You're not going to answer that question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because I was comparing a city in a liberal area with a city in a conservative area to show you that homelessness is not a byproduct of political agenda. Dude, even South Park made an episode explaining WHY homeless people show up in major cities, and especially in nice areas. That was 10 years ago. It may have been played for laughs, but the ending of that episode is literally what happens. A city "dies" is it is not getting new residents, property values are crashing, large corporations are leaving, tourism and other business sectors are dwindling. Tell me...............is ANY OF THAT happening in Seattle? How the hell did anybody come to the conclusion that you can tell how good or bad a city is doing based on the amount of homeless people whom you don't even know if they are native to the area? Are you starting to realize just how ridiculous that metric is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seattle has 12k+ homeless on a 700k population. Back to.. uh, it doesn’t matter? Nope you got bad information. And it ain't saving you Quote The Associated Press reports the state has 487 homeless per 100,000 people. The number has risen since 2010, even as national rates have fallen. Officials say the increase is due to rising costs in the islands, low wages, and limited land. The state coordinator on homelessness says the population of unsheltered families ballooned 46 percent from 2014 to 2015. Scott Morishige says changes in public housing policy and mental health services contributed to the rise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
