We have a lot of homeless in Seattle area. Mild climate and very friendly police who do nothing about the drugs they use right on the street is a big draw. There has been a lot of talk about building housing for the homeless, King County even bought a hotel to house them, but it doesn't seem to do much.
The current thought is to solve the security problem that homeless created downtown Seattle is to bring more workers back to the offices...
The housing isn't enough, as in - it doesn't fix the issues in the people. There needs to be a fundamental change in the way we live as a society so that the potential homeless never become homeless in the first place. Throwing money at the problem doesn't help.
"Corporate workers, keeping your streets safe"
I guess they will then be accused of stealing police jobs :D
