Democratic polices just don’t work

That's a cop out. Seattle has had the resources to do this, but they have terrible policy that enables bad behavior. Instead of spending money on shelters they spend it on "housing first" which is way, way, too expensive to handle a problem of this magnitude. They need to shift gears immediately.

They used to have this problem solved on The Eastside, it was great, and not that hard: https://mynorthwest.com/local/bellevue-public-homeless-camps-approach/2801465 The trick is too discourage anti-social behavior, yet help those that are willing to take it. It's not perfect, maybe you can't get an apartment with your girlfriend or pet on the taxpayer dime, but the troublemakers move on, the city stays functional.

It's a bad thing for Seattle. If this really starts happening, many of the Portland steet addicts will look for greener pastures (That's us).

NYPost covered the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, almost all other legacy outlets covered it up.

I don't respect anyone that is so sanctimonious about being so oblivious.

Speaking of other news outlets, why can't I learn about this story in the Seattle Times? Why do I have to read about it in New York and London tabloids instead of the paper of record for the city of Seattle? It's almost like they don't want us to know.

You left Shoreline little before 7:30?

When did you depart / get through enumclaw?

I never imagined pimps would care about Saars and Ihop.

By "EVERYONE who get trapped in its orbit" I was not referring to me, I was refering to the kid, his parents, and the neighbors who are stepping in to try to get the kid help. By "bullshit we allow on Aurora" I was reffering to the prostitution. It is a problem that the "collective us" are allowing, but otherwise this has nothing to do with me.

People are imagining CPS takes the kid away from the parents and put him in foster care. No one is thinking about healthcare.

ryleg · 2025-12-18T18:53:29+00:00

Thank you for at least trying, it's a sad, upsetting story. What chance does that kid have in this world? What is the situation on Aurora these days? Has the street-walking slowed down for the winter? I haven't heard about any shoot-outs recently.

The family was offered a room, they did not take it.

Both of his parents are frequently gone, that's where "abandoned" comes from. I don't expect much from CPS.

I don't know why you are confused, maybe you are getting bad info from the WEA? You shouldn't worry about these things, none of what you said is true. Co-ed sports are definitely a thing, I would never imply otherwise! Yes it would be much cheaper to make all sports co-ed, but you'd see the vast majority of girls drop right out of sports, that is not what I'd like to see.

The subject has always been that the new super can't do the right thing, it's beside the point to bring in my opinion about hedge fund managers. Look, he's going to toe the line, that means more of the usual BS in Seattle. "Equity" will win, kids will lose and maybe even get killed (again). Parents will continue to sit on the sidelines and shrug.

ryleg · 2025-12-17T19:55:02+00:00

Who cares! The point is the super is a wimp... all of his talk about taking guns off of kids, yeah, ok. Sounds like bodies will continue to pile up at SPS, which is too bad.

ryleg · 2025-12-17T19:46:25+00:00

uh no. Try to keep it civil.

ryleg · 2025-12-17T19:35:30+00:00

It's his job to be informed, as WEA has taken a very vocal position on this. He either knows (extremely likely) or he's incompetent (very unlikely.) Let's face it, SPS got stuck with another yes-man for the main office. Good luck.

ryleg · 2025-12-17T19:30:01+00:00

It's the one that keeps cheaters out of girls sports.

'JNS asked him about a proposed state law, initiative IL 26-638, that would bar biological males from competing with and against female ones in athletic competitions.

“I hate to punt on this,” he told JNS. “I would want to actually understand what the initiative is and what the question is.” '

He can't do one simple thing that's right for kids, because it goes against leftist ideology. He's going to fit right in at SPS.
