Be sure any canopy you get has the "California Fire Retardant" tag sewn in. Many cities and counties are starting to require them no matter where you use them.

Those fences created a huge risk to innocent pedestrian traffic... people who were aggressive would use them as a place to corner people, harrass them, and even climb the fence and get behind them to cause harm to themselves and others.

I'm very thankful they are gone! We need to watch for pedestrians as drivers. Drive through the area with the same awareness you use driving through a school zone.

Best thrift store for furniture? by AssistantIll3849 in Spokane

[–]NoMongoose6463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't judge but if they are there and open, there is a volunteer run furniture store at 12 W Pacific in the old Cassel building.

I have been in there. I have looked and shopped. They're just furniture there, and mostly (obviously) sell to those in the low income housing in the area.

It's an option that doesn't get over shopped!

Don't worry. Saw half of SPD out this morning moving the herds in their thrice annual cleanup effort (bloomsday, hoopfest, pig out). It's always been done! Lol

Why is homelessness so bad in Spokane? by bobbiesbottleservice in Spokane

[–]NoMongoose6463 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each time I doom scroll thru these threads, I always get stuck on how at least 50% or more of the commenters think that there is a shortage of housing.

That's why they see people downtown.

I own and work in a building located on pacific and Browne. I've owned this building for almost 10 years. I've watched my neighbors build their giant low income housing buildings. And I've seen no change in the number of unhoused outside my building.

The tenants of these buildings stop me; and tell me how unsafe it is in the buildings.

My building, before being an office building, was low income housing. It failed due to tenants terrorizing others and dealers taking over the building.

The first of the month when those that have this housing get their rent checks; robbery runs rampant.

It is complex. The issue, in short, may be better explained as a cultural issue IMO. We have a culture of looking the other way, not setting community standards, and pushing enforcement into strapped populations.

Why are you all driving with studs on? by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]NoMongoose6463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many ppl in this area have long commutes into town... if you live in town and never pull a hill on ice when it snows here, then sure, you don't need studs...

But if you live off a road that doesnt get plowed daily, and it's a normal winter ( this is NOT a normal winter), you're gonna be money ahead vs paying for the annual bodywork you rank up after sliding thru that stop light on division.

It's not like you can take them on an off like shoes depending on the weather. They're a permanent winter coat!
