I watched the doc...
The west coast has always had issyes with homeless due to the mild weather... but Seattle has definitely changed since i went in 2005, and now i'm not so sure i would have any interest in going back any time soon0 -

Fucking Seattle... boo hooOver 63,000 homeless people in NYC, including those living in homeless shelters. 12,500 in Seattle. That is quite a difference. However, 8.4 million people live in New York city, and only 725,000 people live in Seattle. That means that 1.724% of the Seattle population is homeless, and only 0.75% of the NYC population is homeless. And Seattle is only a quarter of the size in terms of actual land mass, and the area where the homeless tend to actually live in is a minuscule fraction of the area they do in NYC. So yeah, that explains why it seems like and is a worse problem in Seattle.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.

But damn, in both cases, that is a HIGH percentage of the population being homeless. People here in Vancouver are completely freaked out about the number of homeless people there are - everyone considers it to be at crisis levels and it's a major topic for our politicians - and the percentage of the population that is homeless in Vancouver proper is only 0.345%, which is still way too high obviously, because it should basically be 0% in countries with as much wealth as ours have.

I spent days there, walking all over the city day and night, and I only saw maybe 3 homeless people the entire time. I couldn't believe it, because it seems to much worse in Vancouver and feels ever-present wherever you go in the city, and our rate is apparently low?? Wtf. I practically had the impression that NYC had just about eradicated homelessness altogether just based on my experience! I mean, I knew that wasn't the case, but that's how it felt.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.

I think NY has to provide them housing by law, a right to shelter... i remember reading that due to not enough shelter spaces the city spends massive amounts to house people in Hotels nightly, including nice hotels in Manhattan for $400-500 per nightPost edited by my2hands on0

) But things got out of hand- especially drugs- and it had to be closed down. The trouble was internal, so-to-speak.

It will not get any better, all these cities will continue to see the epidemic continue as the opioid crisis grows and as affordable living continues to be out of reach by many in these cities.Give Peas A Chance…0
