Let's get this right, Seattle.

@grok what bill is she referring to?

To be clear for anyone watching this video that thinks what she’s saying is accurate.. I work in a field where I’m around homeless ppl a lot. Street and RV homeless people are ~80% severe chronic addicts, and I’m being conservative with that percentage. It’s probably higher. Many also have mental illness problems. Severe addiction and/or mental illness is probably 95% of street homelessness. The mayor is framing this issue in bad faith to emotionally manipulate you into being ok with the longstanding problems of the PNW’s culture of being permissive of public antisocial behavior. Anyone who’s ever known a severe drug addict understands that enabling the pattern of drug abuse (they’ll always have a way to blame anything for the problem but themselves aside from the few honest ones) and sidelining accountability sends them further down the spiral- often putting them so deep their brain’s become completely rewired to seek out drugs as a constant number one priority in their daily lives. The entire west coast leadership should be charged with negligent manslaughter for the way they’ve approached this serious problem.

you're just awful. 2 people die everyday from overdose in your city. stopping the criminal bandit camps would save so many lives but you're too busy grandstanding about leftist nonsense. boooooo

You will never get anything right by pursuing the policies of the left

Why is your focus on everyone except working American families?

Katie we've been doing these "outreach teams" for 15 years and at this point it just sounds like flat-eartherism to continue to obstinately deny the basic fact that most of these people do not want services, do not respect your outreach and will take advantage of you to the greatest extent you allow.

“Down on their luck” - fuck off

ah yes... the medical professionals are literally lining the roadsides of Seattle...

Let's get this right." Per Strauss, you promised not to veto the RV bill, then called at 4pm to say you were. 13 days from passage to broken promise. Yogurt makes longer commitments.

Oh ffs go away you incompetent fool

OK great, so the outreach teams will go out there again, and when the RVs refuse to move / keep coming back to the same spots in residential streets, what exactly is your proposed solution? Image of MLK Jr. Way, Seattle, just south of Powell Barnett Park:

Seattle hasn't gotten anything right for years.

I actually agree with her. There is no way Seattle government is competent enough to run a permitting system for drug RVs.

"In extreme cases, criminal activity. " LMAO. With a couple of exceptions, every single junker RV that's cycled through my block over the years has been involved in criminal activity. Pull that giant forehead of yours out of your ass.

This you? Why don’t you get this right?

What did you think would happen when you decriminalized open drug use, camping, and theft?

They already lost that option when they got you.

Traveling nurses don't live in RV. They get living stipends

You are a f#cking national embarrassment, Kate.

Are you kidding? You are ridiculous. Side with tax paying citizens. We don't want to live with this filth.

People using meth and fent are not "down on their luck". They are drug addicts. Get them the hell out. Arrest. Convict.

Hey @IfindRetards ☝️

Seems kinda authoritarian. And it won’t fix anything.

Don’t use nurses to push your agenda

I don't think you have been firm enough with people Mayor. Homeless people are the backbone of Seattle. No homeless, no grift. Think about what that would mean for you and your friends. There are still businesses standing in Seattle....go get them and shut them down. Hail Homeless!

Just stop, you are being used and abused. I'm surprised your dad doesn't protect you.

#Resign

Eliminate the free drug and needle program, it isn't helpful at all. Ban homeless people from riding on the trains and buses. They don't pay and they openly do drugs, pee and shit, masturbate, and harass passengers. Ban park, sidewalk, and street camping. DO something.

This is what you all get for voting in the retarded girl who couldn't even get her own home life in order without mommy and daddy's help.

Let's? You're making unilateral decisions & then lecturing us. In a nice, normal city, the government concerns itself with everybody. You & the city council are obsessed with turning this city into one big homeless camp.

Traveling nurses?? Please go knock on the doors of these RVs and meet the people living in them.

The first step to solving any problem is identifying the problem. If you think describing this problem as a cost of living issue which in extreme cases might possibly result in some criminal activity, I suggest you are nowhere near identifying the problem.

Free camping, no laws. Go crazy, bitches! Socialism f***ing rules! (If you’re a criminal)

Tax paying citizens will be taking matters into our own hands since you have failed to do so. You support homelessness, criminals, and drug addicts more than tax payers.

How many traveling nurses are living in RVs on Seattle streets?
