Why is Seattle such a shithole?

There's junkies in the streets of almost every single city in America

Have you ever even been to Seattle?

Seattle didn't seem any better or any worse in general than any other big city I have even been in. It has what every big city has; lots of money, good restaurants, homeless people, druggies, good parts, bad parts. It's pretty typical to me.

Oops. Spoke too soon. Seattle is such a shithole/dying so hard it has fallen all the way down to 2nd fastest growing city in the nation due to Fort Worth annexing a lot of land/people.

It took San Francisco decades to become the needle infested shit hole (except where the rich live) city featured in Leftists Today magazine.

NYC has been among the top US metropolises for a century, yet only recently has it become obvious that the rat population (not counting those in suits at city hall) exceeds the number of people living in the city (city's population in past 80 years has grown from 7.5 to 8.5 million people, but it's now estimated that there may be fives times as many rats).

Is there any reason to believe that Seattle is precocious, and that the negative consequence of rule-by-fart-sniffers would take just a couple instead of several decades to fully manifest? Shit covered sidewalks, growing rat populations reviving fears unseen since the 'plague' wiped out parts of europe, needles, unfunded public pensions, schools with math/English proficiency rates below 1 in 10 kids, presence of the greatest wealth disparity on earth, what else is missing? And since the presence of large tech companies only serves to postpone the consequences, Seattle could very well suckle on that fat richness for an extra decade or more before it's forced to face the costs consequent to far-left policy (DiBlasio's latest is city-funded health costs for illegals, even Seattle hasn't tried that yet, have you?). Why else would so many cities like NYC have vied to secure a fat paying tenant like Amazon at an exorbitant price?

Fuck, do you guys even have 2-hour traffic jams just to travel a few miles yet? How popular can you really be?

Geez, no longer capable of pretending there are no consequences to Democrats in power, even the NYT is writing editorials about the potential perils of long-term leftist rule.

Seattle and San Francisco are worse than most though. Decriminalization of open drug use is part of the reason.

The hard truth is you need both the carrot and the stick to improve such situations. The carrot is programs and hpusing vouchers/subsidized/affordable housing while the stick is if they refuse those services you don't just let them run wild high out of their minds in public streets without serious legal consequences. Some want out and will happily take the carrot when it is offered while the hardcore element just want to do drugs all day every day and never want that to change. The stick is the only way to reach them.

It has gotten worse, much worse. When I was there 10 years ago for ny friend's wedding there were a few but last year it was unreal. Complete with open drug use and powerless cops who want to do their jobs but who are prevented by local politicians.

Oooohhhhhh!!!! *Jizzes in pants*

You know what? Let it BURN. Along with LA, SF, Detroit, NYC....LET. IT. BURN.

Atlanta first. Sherman didn't finish

Fuck Tha Police

Good lord you’re stupid.

Ask Charleena Lyles' kids how powerless the cops in Seattle are.

Ah, I forget you need videos to get the point.

We’re not talking about Antifa/ BLM bullshit talking points, we’re talking about cops being powerless to do anything about the “homeless” shitbags in the streets.

Fuck you

no u

Speaking of Dr Dre....

Fuck women too right Anna?

No, u.

@Anna, What fantasy you dumb ass? The guy is a batterer and N.W.A was notorious for glorifying misogyny and criminal behavior. You posted that garbage. Own it.

Yes you are

And yet you elected a rapist into the White House.

OMG someone did something bad. It invalidates everything else they said that might be correct.

Sick burn, angry old queen. Time to change those panties.

Nope. Didn't vote for either. Try again dumb ass.

Then it won't hurt you to die.
Blow your brains out.

Seattle is beautiful. You nancies need to stop obsessing over big cities.

yes I have!

yes I have!

okay I messed up something in post #118 but I can't edit my comments for some reason - my computer has been glitchy lately.
