“Seattle is dying” is from a local ABC news affiliate so it’s not a fox news production and at the end of the hour things seem clear, evidence based solutions are needed. I’ll be the first to admit documentaries can be biased, not sure if this one is but instead of just showing a problem, they show a solution. Complaining is not a strategy, show me proof that an alternative can work, now that is a strategy. It’s not a partisan problem, SD should go with what works. The Seattle model doesn’t work but maybe Rhode Island has something that can be replicated. Rhode island is a Blue State for those keeping score, perhaps that will make this an easier pill to swallow since this is a liberal vs liberal argument being made and the Rhode island liberals seem to have the better answer. I don’t care who comes up with the the answer as long as it works. My apologies if it takes an hour of your life but it’s worthwhile to watch it to the end.[/quote]
just recalled the homeless guy from the movie “they live” in another thread,…
anyway addressing the problem of homeless, will require recognizing it is a symptom of failure on various fronts,… in other words we have to recognize that people become homeless because they often don’t have the necessary talent(s) in demand which could enable them to earn money in a global economy, they also don’t have the best coping skills, so too often they medicate themselves to ease the physical and mental pain
lastly mentioned the homeless guy character from “they live” because we have to recognize that we’re being invaded,… not by space aliens
They Live (1988) – Obey, Consume, This is Your God
but rather by no talent a$$ clowns, who have placed themselves in various positions of leadership in society, so,…

Todd Rex Gloria “the politician” is a career crony hack who has not fixed any big problems,… has a needy personality so is always on the prowl for a photo-opt
