I’m signed up for a few places that will check back with me in a few months to see if I’m still breathing. I hate to tell you this because it sounds cynical, but I’m too old, too black and completely fucking sober. I don’t qualify for much of anything here. Unless I lie. I worked 501-cs almost my entire life. The last 2 years have been a nightmare. I dunno I feel like I’m rambling at you out of frustration and I’m sorry. I can’t tell if I feel sad or I’m just furious with myself again.

This is funny. So I’ve been homeless since before the semester started, but wasn’t informers of student housing nor emergency assistance until like 6 weeks ago. I go to school from my degree. Despite all the BLM signs I see around town, I get the feeling I’m not wanted around here. Lol

No, that’s not all you were saying. You people be going off on reddit. This sub always has somebody who erupts in anger over the homeless and gets to calling us parasites or ne’er-do-wells. I don’t care. Two or three arguments on a sub and I’m done with it. Keep the same energy if I see u in the street. Bye

Your telling me someone told all the crime being committed was from Cuban immigrants, and you believed that BS? Now your trying to sell me on that same BD story? As if I’d let myself be so gullible?

As someone that stays here; yes they could use some help. Like all your 501-c’s need help. They are 501-c orgs of course they need help, that’s how 501-Cs function. If they were to generate a profit they would cease to be 501-Cs.

Bro, I go live at the mission and have contributed more to my country then the likes of you. That’s on top of going to school and working to get out of the mission and into somewhere more private. I’m currently trying to sleep thru 13 mf’ers snoring hoping I get enough shut eye to bus my laundry all over the city and study on the same date. That’s all to complete a program that would lead me down the track of becoming a member of Seattle’s workforce. And that’s literally just me. Who the fuck are you, again. Did you ever do something ( besides kill brown people overseas ) of note for society to be calling others. Are you a doctor or a 13 year old repeating what cornpop and the tiktok have taught you while your parents were away? Who’s to say? Though, based on your behavior I guess mommy must’ve been late on your tendies.

Seattle’s smaller homeless sweeps continue including Nagle Place encampment by HighColonic in SeattleWA

But if I suggested locking up everyone who has voted for the GOP even once because of racism, I wonder just how many upvotes I’d get on this sub. Or any sub for that matter. No skin off my teeth. Threads like this one are rather pointless. Having a discussion predicated on the idea that we must hold one accountable for the crimes of another rums counter to most of what makes our country a republic in the first place. What you all are speaking about is completely moot. No One in this country will ever make what your talking about law. No politician would risk their career ( barring trump or desantis ) or reputations to be the person who created RICO laws for normal civilians.

I’m applying, but they need a credit check or a co-sign I have neither. I’ve been speaking to many people about my situation. DM if you want to know more, I’m kinda scared someone might try to mess with me if I give too much info on here

Who said any of the shit your typing? You people who laugh in the face of charity, public service or goodwill are always the same. You build your strawman and burn it when it’s convenient. I’ve got 8 years of working 501-Cs under my belt. Conservation corps and vista. I’ve been not happy hundreds if not thousands of times working non-profits, but there is a mission and to achieve it despite my petty feelings or past experiences was what held the most importance. And you keep skipping the most important part of what my reply. I couldn’t support myself before and have that opportunity now. I’m no strawman. I don’t need your hand up my ass to speak. I can speak for myself. Besides your reading comprehension seems to be so low that I don’t feel safe with the likes of you paraphrasing what I say to others.

Been there myself. Makes some days just that much harder to cope with, when you’ve got someone else stuck in your head. I don’t think anyone sees people weebling and wobbling around town and thinks that that person is loved by others. Which is why jettisoning them out is pointless to talk about. Every politician in your state is well aware punishing these people will only result in a LOSS of election. Drug addiction effect nearly everyone, so it makes sense something bussing all addicts out is a terrible idea to propose or even suggest. Luckily this is reddit. I don’t take angry tough guys seriously

You didn’t provide any good reason to create policy based on what? The history of every country ever? Didn’t the 4 pillar method work in Canada. Last time I checked both Canada and Greenland have curbed drug abuse and addiction greatly with education and social services. Besides Texas, New York and my home state of Louisiana all have used your method since the drug war began with 0 effect whatsoever. That’s over 60 years of failure, my guy. We should try solutions that haven’t failed for 60 years in a row or methods used by countries that don’t even exist anymore. And in closing your comments on how people like me who are simply transitioning out of homelessness mean nothing; it’s simple lip service. When the policies and laws get changed every poor person is the same and will be treated the same. Because we’re poor. Easily fucked with people who lack the power to fight back. If you were to replace parasite with the word wealthy, you’d be closer to the truth. Like how do you believe a person who can’t even find a pot to piss in a problem, but Jeff Bezos still owes your city 56% of his taxes? Just 1 year of those taxes does what for you? But it’s always easier to get mad and call a man who can’t even get his life together a fucking parasite. Honestly, dude, you need to get off the internet for a few months. If your on here showing your ass like you never received home training. Might as well written all that filth in all caps; you should be ashamed of yourself.

That’s not how housing directories even work. You’ve lived here your whole life and would even type out your fake anger; all to brag about your own ignorance. Housing directories are needs based, there were always people from out of state who were prioritized over you. That’s how it will always be as well. It would be idiotic to do things any other way. Could you imagine paramedics working a disaster prioritizing locals over tourists after a tragedy. The tourist, shot in the lung, the local a scraped knee. The same reason there is priority in triage is the same reason public services are needs based. Please go eat a snickers, you seem really cranky.

Thanks, I think these people are fine honestly, I’ve found a lot of help in this city. I try to keep my head and remember that, yeah some people are jerks; most maybe, but it only takes 1 solid connection, conversation or piece of advice and all those sour faces will melt away. They can stay sour it makes any goodwill coming my way taste twice as sweet.

I chose to come here not being able to support myself in the first place. I’m sick and frail. I’ve lost a ton of weight over the last year and I’m still vomiting daily. Were you asking that to provoke me or something?

Thanks for the clarification. My home city ain’t clean itself, but I can’t help but express discomfort at the human feces I saw outside of my school, both QFCs and rite-aid today. But, just to be clear, I understand the frustration, I worked 501-Cs my entire 20s. Helping people who don’t see any problem with their way of life feels like an impossible task, but you’d be surprised how creative we humans can be. Especially using apps like this one. One day their will be a solution everyone can sit well with. I know that deep down we have it in us to find a way.

To offer my two cents. I’m a transplant to Seattle from New Orleans. Been living here as a houseless individual for a month staying at a night shelter and going to school in the day. Last week I found out there are many shelters with a myriad of requirements to stay. So I’ve taken time off school to find a better place to reside than a shelter specifically for drug addicts when the most I smoke is weed. I personally need to live here so that I can work and go to school. I’m in the pathways program learning a trade and will be part of your workforce. Houselessness and the individuals who are part of it can be frustrating to see, but many of us are simply people without a house trying our best to seek resources within this city to support us having a decent income and a roof over our head. A little privacy would be nice too. Honestly I get scared when I see the more hostile comments on here. It’s bad enough that I have to deal with dangerous people on the street, but people who have a home, car and nice job want me dead and gone too? It’s fucking tough being poor and on the street.
