From The Seattle Times:
Seattle is putting fences under its bridges to keep campers out — and some say that’s wrong
Seattle is putting fences under some bridges where homeless camps set up. The city says it’s to prevent fires, but some City Council members are pushing back.
The article says that there are over 5,500 homeless living on the streets. I have zero problem with giving someone a hand up if they hit a rough patch in their lives but this is encouraging those on the edge to move to Seattle to take advantage of the taxpayer-funded free housing and food and money. We need better mental health treatment (i.e. institutions to house them) as well as the backbone to discriminate those who need a hand up and those who are chronic wastrels. Thank you President Kennedy.
