Last month I wrote about an extraordinary news special produced by station KOMO in Seattle. Provocatively titled “Seattle is Dying” the hour-long special argued that the homeless problem in the city was a disaster for residents thanks to policies that let people with addictions or mental problems live in a law-free zone on the city’s streets... Earlier this month, leaked documents revealed that a group of prominent nonprofits—the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Campion Advocacy Fund, the Raikes Foundation, and the Ballmer Group—hired a PR firm, Pyramid Communications, to conduct polling, create messaging

Seattle is controlled by ANIFFA, socialist, druggies, and communist. Seattle is indeed the S-hole of America.
Who in their right mind would want to visit Seattle little on live their?

The guy is right, Joseph Goebbels would be proud. Another instance of fake news.

Why address the problem when it’s so much more fun to play “Stump The Chumps”?

Having lived near there for 30 years, it was sad to watch the decline of this city. I think it accelerated with the wto riots in 1999. The city fathers catered to these anarchists, laying out the welcome mat for every cultural misfit in the country to feel at home there. The result of their inbreeding currently inhabits the streets and sidewalks.

#5-I was thinking the same thing about the ‘99 WTO riots. There we no repercussions for the vandals, and it just emboldened them all.

Leftist "know" that their leftist ideas are the ultimate answer; delivered, inarguable truth (at least in their literally feeble minds), so there is never any feedback loop.
Never any recognition of the disastrous real world results of their policies, never any adjustment (other than doubling down, doing MORE leftist things) when the results are inevitably the opposite of what they say they intended to accomplish. Such inflexibility leads me to question if they actually intended what they claimed to have intended.
Never adjust, never acknowledge failure, just hire a PR firm to cover up your failures.
A tiny fraction of leftists can think, are willing to see reality, and eventually recognize the failures of leftist policies, and they become conservatives. Dr. Thomas Sowell is a notable example.
But most are small minds, unable to see failure and reject their leftist ideas.

Like so much else these days, homelessnous has become a big-dollar industry. Lots of civic organizations, government bureaucracies, and "non-profits" dependent on contributions, government grants, and other sources of revenue for their budgets and growth. Like the deep swamp, they´re good at maintaining the status quo.

The only thing that the station didn´t really touch on which is at the root of Seattle´s problems is LIBERAL POLICIES. They managed to sidestep that very well. Out of a deep love for her grandmother who lives in assisted living in a suburb of Seattle, my daughter lives there, and the tales she tells would curl your hair literally.

I guess the taxpayers also got to pay for some of this PR effort. It´s amazing to me that the left fails to see that welcoming and subsidizing the homeless is doing them no favors. They make the suffering worse in the long run while congratulating themselves on their moral superiority.

As a Seattlite I am sickened by the democrat/socialists that are destroying our onece beautiful city. Seeing so many filthy encampmments littered around town is going to cause a serious health issue.

Everyone can see the results of the establisment allowing violating of laws by [quote] homeless [/quote] people. The bad problems are by people who choose to live on the street - drug addicts and mentally ill. A TV special showed it. Then the powers who know better than us mounted a propaganda campaign and attacked the well respected reporter.
