It's really not, you and I may disagree on a lot of things, hell everything but you've got three people who live in the Northwest telling you the exact same things as these videos are highlighting. One's a conservative, one's an undefined left leaning position (Ike) and then there's Cookester who's libertarian or something. It's a real problem that is gutting this city and surrounding areas.

Ike acknowledging a homeless/drug issue in the city is a far cry from saying the city is dying. Seattle isn't dying. Not even fucking close. You posted this propaganda because you need it to be true, not because it is true. Seattle is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the US, based on quality of life and job market. You're going to need a hell of a lot more than a Sinclair shit-spew to change that. You're gonna need reality to change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dying is hyperbole, but nonetheless due to policies in place and a lack of enforcement of the law which is handed down from the top the city is falling apart and is a complete mess, and dangerous.

jehurey 3,230 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 The thing is.........using homeless people is an absolutely worthless metric determine that a city "is dying" Are you telling me that the hour long video, the MAIN REASON for them saying that Seattle is dying is because of the amount of homeless people? Because if that's all they got.............they ain't got shit. They're trying to insinuate that the ECONOMICS of Seattle are making people homeless? They wouldn't be able to prove that. That's why I almost immediately responded with economics, because I figured the logical way Seattle is being criticized is by its labor laws. But this argument is infinitely weaker. You do understand that other cities BUS homeless people out to another city? And its almost always to the West Coast. Haiwaii has the HIGHEST HOMELESS PER CAPITA IN THE NATION..........I guess it must be because of their policies, right? No, its because Hawaii is a dream to live in, and homeless people scrap enough money to get there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
