Seattle's Liberalhole

BobQatOne files a complaint from the frontlines

Seattle is very rapidly becoming, to paraphrase the president, a liberalhole.  Tents and trash and worse just about anywhere and everywhere, frequent fires in "homeless" camps, along with other crimes.  And the "Mayor" and "City Clowncil" are doing everything they can to do nothing, or make it worse.

Yeah, there are folks who have been screwed over by their own or other's faults that end up without a place to live.  And there are private and public programs in place to help those that ask for it.   And I have talked to a few folks at the weekly church dinner who seem to be decent enough folks who have just chosen to not have a place to live.  Then there are the "street people", who for whatever reasons, revel in being in the city's face as annoyingly as possible, and who have no intention of taking help from anyone to get their act together.  Help trashing the place and making it easier to get drugs and freebies, sure.

The Clowncil's head tax push, lead by socialist Sawant and Moonbat O'Brien, ~may~ at last be faltering - a couple weeks back, Sawant stacked the audience at a council meeting with tax supporters and loud chanters, and raised holy hell when the chanters were finally removed by the council leader.  Sawant whined about how the peaceful chanters were expressing their first amendment rights by shouting down opposing opinions.

Last week, Sawant was out in front of Amazon pushing hard for her tax, and got chanted down by iron workers that had just found out Amazon was putting a hold on their big construction project.  Sawant couldn't understand why her "union brothers and sisters" weren't licking her hand...

Also last week, O'Brien had a town hall in Ballard about "homeless" encampments, and was overwhelmingly condemned by residents against his schemes.  Just perhaps, the sleepy voters here are finally catching on to their stupidity electing these twits, he said, wishfully.  We could use some candidates that aren't just leftestest and leftesrer, however.

Queen Anne Hill still not too bad, but did notice some new gangsta tagging on the Ave this evening.  And what with the Space Noodle renovation, it looks like a huge baby rattle anyway.

I usually brave the potholes to get over to the west side of the hill to watch the sunsets, and even that far too infrequently.  Life is a lot more tired and boring of late....
