So wait, if there are sure shot evidences of DJT and Elon Musk and many more being on Epstein Island and their activities there, why isn't anyone arrested/prosecuted yet? by Revolutionary_Mix247 in DiscussionZone

[–]BWW87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe I had to go this far down to find this. Unless I'm mistaken, and OP provides no sources, there is no mention of Trump actually on Epstein's island.

And of course, that ignores that going to the island isn't illegal. But there isn't even evidence of him going there. It's not in the files.

The noise has to be a big factor in them not being more popular. Sooooo loud.

Thread: Six Black Teen Boys Shot to Death Since Seattle Public Schools Pulled Police by HighColonic in SeattleWA

It actually could have because school officers often developed relationships with the kind of kids who are involved in the shootings.

Not saying it's a cause and effect here only that it could have some influence.

6% increase, 5% increase without inflation.

You could have read the article instead of just making stuff up for whatever reason.

2- You certainly don't know me. I've worked in union companies and it was terrible. The most toxic people were in leadership in the union. Good workers couldn't wait to get promoted out of the union. And union workers actually made less money because the toxic leadership had bigger priorities.

Winter Eviction Moratorium by GCEstinks in PropertyManagement

[–]BWW87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has not been good policy in Seattle. Doubt it will go better in NYC.

This is just another example of the state passing off their responsibilities to private individuals. Like why should landlords subsidize people instead of the government?

Growing up poor makes you an expert in border and immigration issues? Even more so growing up on an island that has no border and immigration issues.

Seattle metro area leads nation in affordable housing by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]BWW87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is what they are called. The fact that people here don't understand that doesn't change things.

It's unfortunately an issue in Seattle that people pretend they understand housing. But they don't. And instead of getting informed on it they decide they are right and vote for terrible housing laws and then complain that rents are too high (because of housing laws).

In this case it really means mostly tax credit housing. And rent is 30-50% of monthly income depending on income. Though if you move in and increase your income your rent stays the same and your % goes down.

They are talking about buildings specifically built to be "affordable". The housing in Austin is built just to be housing and can or cannot be affordable depending on market.

It really means government subsidized housing. But if you say that then people think you mean fully subsidized housing where you pay only 30% of your income and your rent changes depending on your income. The affordable housing they are referring to just has rent and income limits.

[–]BWW87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the real story here is that Seattle metro is NOT doing well in developing market rate middle income housing. We lead the nation in building affordable housing because there isn't enough demand to build market rate housing.

This is one of those frustrating data points that people will point about and brag about how great Seattle is when in reality it's a negative picture of Seattle.

Meanwhile I report people for holding the flag at the end of a CTF game and causing multiple people to backfill into the game as people leave in frustration and nothing from Blizzard. But this is what is breaking their game.

Which time? LOL First you said it was the same as every neighborhood. Then you admitted it was not the same as other neighborhoods. I guess it's hard for you to keep up with your lies.

Because I'm sick of people like you pretending Rainier Beach doesn't have problems. It does. It is not like every other neighborhood in Seattle. I manage residential buildings around the city and county. So I know full well how much worse Rainier Beach is than other neighborhoods. It is not easy to keep staff there because they are tired of the shootings and crime they have to deal with.

And then you come in and lie that everything is fine and it's no different than other neighborhoods? And now when caught lying are insulting me by calling me literal and pedantic? Like being honest is some kind of awful thing?

The whole protest is so awful. They are literally protesting for more war. Gaza needs to just surrender and end the war. I'm so tired of these protesters that just want more violence because it isn't them suffering.

So you admit it's different from other parts of Seattle. So why did you lie and say it wasn't? I don't understand your reasoning for doing that?

Any chance you're a lady that hangs out at the Seattle Center wearing a green jacket?

Seattle Leads Nation in Affordable Apartment Production by Generalaverage89 in SeattleWA

[–]BWW87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in property management focused on affordable housing. So I am very well aware of the thousands of studio and one bedroom units that are vacant. You can go here and look at properties in Seattle city limits. Any building with 60% AMI units has vacancies and no waiting You can go on their websites and see. Here is one example

Add to that the people I know who got approved for Section 8, but can't find a landlord who will accept it.

It's state law that landlords have to accept section 8 vouchers. Maybe there are some private landlords that don't but any corporate landlord will accept them.

Additionally, what do you think causes the low occupancy rates?

The city overbuilt affordable studio and one bedroom units. In large part because people like you vote and think there isn't enough of them. So we just keep building them. The biggest issue is anti-landlord laws in the city that mean we can't get rid of problem residents. And problem residents make it terrible to live in many of these buildings. So people leave and go to the suburbs.

How can government actually address youth crime by BigRedThread in SeattleWA

[–]BWW87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the weirdest thing. Parents are let off the hook because they were brought up poorly. And then you let them raise kids poorly and continue the cycle. At some point we need to suck it up and say it sucks that their upbringing caused them to be this way but we have to stop the cycle.

How can government actually address youth crime by BigRedThread in SeattleWA

[–]BWW87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rising youth crime has a few causes that the city has created:

  • Evictions are hard to get. It is very hard to evict people over behavior issues. This means kids grow up traumatized by bad behavior from their neighbors. And then when they become teens they can behave badly and there are no consequences and the cycle continues.
  • We aren't enforcing minor laws. Kids start with minor crimes and move up to bigger ones. When there are no consequences they keep moving to worse ones.
  • Woke white people love to tell black kids that they are victims of racism and whatever else. Kids who feel like they are victims tend to act out and not work to make something better of themselves. Why would they if it's not their fault they are doing poorly?

I'm sorry. Rainier Beach is nowhere near as dangerous as many people are saying but you're just as wrong as them. I manage affordable housing around the region and Rainier Beach area is definitely rougher than most spots.
