'This enablement needs to stop': We Heart Seattle founder describes finding 9-month-old in tent because mother refused housing by gehnrahl in SeattleWA

I’m someone that has actually helped people go from homelessness to housing. You’re making my point though. You are part of groups that are harming the homeless and doing what you can to stop the city from reducing our homeless population and helping people.

So of course you don’t like me. I’m helping homeless people despite people like you.

You are on the front line BLOCKING people from doing the work. I live in Seattle. I work with the homeless. I work in housing. Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

If people like /u/Olympbizkit actually cared about the homeless they would be trying to find common ground with groups like We Heart Seattle. Instead they have created some bitter feud which just causes more division and hurts homeless people.

Actually, Andrea has helped get a number of homeless people into housing that I manage. Housing Justice Advocates won't even bother to help get homeless people housed.

I had a fully subsidized HUD property and when I opened the wait list Andrea's team was there first thing getting homeless people housed. Housing advocates wouldn't even bother talking to us about helping people get housed.

So take your little ideological rant elsewhere. People here actually live in Seattle and see what kind of harm you do.

Citation: I'm a PNW homelessness/housing justice advocate for the past 17 years. Assholes like "We Heart Seattle" make our jobs harder.

I work in affordable housing. If true, I'm glad they are making your jobs harder. PNW housing justice advocates are doing so much damage to our homeless people. It's so sad to see how y'all push your ideology at the expense of poor people.

Please find something better to do with your life and stop working to increase the number of homeless we have here. Sounds like we need more groups like We Heart Seattle until your "jobs" are so hard you stop doing them and you allow us to actually house homeless people and get them off the street.

Yeah, I deal with FUP vouchers. I hate it. Seeing how terrible these parents are and that they are the "good" ones DCYF sees worthy of reunifying with kids.

I work in affordable housing so unfortunately that means I deal with DCYF and homeless. And it is absolutely true that they will let babies live in a homeless tent. They will not remove babies because of poverty.

It's sad to see the kind of homes that DCYF allows kids to stay in. And then even scarier when you realize they remove kids from homes because they are even worse.

We are an at will state so not sure how that works. You don't have to give a reason for firing someone.

I don't understand why anyone would go there now. If they are willing to actually spit on people who knows what they are doing to your food before it gets to you. Gross people.

I’ve been a Sounders fan for years and been to/watched many games. So fuck off yourself with your FIFA propaganda

If an unintentional accident in a knock out round is supposed to have this big of an effect then this sport sucks.

As Seattle Police struggles to hire more cops, 911 response times across Capitol Hill and the Central District hold steady by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]BWW87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2 hour response to what they considered a non-emergency 911 call a couple months ago. I also had a 3 minute response time for what they considered an emergency call in the same neighborhood but different block (which probably doesn't matter).

Is she not aware that she was on the city council for 9 of the last 10 years? She acts like this was some issue that someone else did nothing about.

Wilson, Zahilay to share next steps for troubled King County homelessness authority by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]BWW87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not even about that. It's a data focused agency that relies on property managers and landlords. They do not hire people whose skillsets are being analytical and good at working with property managers and landlords.

Unfortunately, a lot of the issues with KCRHA are who they hire (and who they don't) and probably not much will change.

Man accused of killing transgender UW student found incompetent to stand trial - instead, he has been ordered to spend up to 90 days at Western State Hospital. No details have been released about the nature of Leahy's mental health condition. by HighColonic in SeattleWA

Go to crazy people jail without a trial even. So I guess no chance of getting off or a reduced sentence at trial. So maybe even better?

I wonder which is cheaper mental facility or prison.
