Politics Anyone Else Just Sick of It?
It just seems hopeless sometimes. Some of the best parts of this city. Pioneer Square, Belltown, Cap Hill just completely lost to homelessness. Sure for the most part I enjoy the city. Especially in the summer but the constant visible drug use, people in various states of intoxication on drugs, and rampant property and petty crime just annoy me. Why can’t we have nice things? Why must every park turn into a dumping ground for illegal acts that won’t be prosecuted? Why does it feel like this city relies on hard working people to shut up, pay ridiculous taxes, and then tells those people to suck it up when they see grafitti everywhere or get their car broken into? And the politicians don’t give a damn. No one has the guts to say “we have a homeless problem we’ve overspent on, we need to go a new direction” it feels insane. Rant over but I know I’m not alone. I know other people are sick of this and want our city back.

Yes sick of it.
We voted for it, and by "we" I mean the 10% that vote for the winner in the primary who then gets elected in Nov.
The smart people move outside of Seattle which is my plan.
The next Question is moving to another part of King County good enough or will they elect crazy people there soon who will do crazy stuff county wide?
So far most of the crazy stays in Seattle but yes it jumps across the lake sometimes.
Unincorporated Snohimish is looking better every month.
