I only watched 15 min of this vid before my puke reflex became overwhelming.  The POV here is basically what's left of the middle class moaning about how their quality of life has become so horrible because of all those awful messy homeless people and the mountains of garbage lining the Seattle streets.   Off the record, the Survey Sez the answer is simple, cops need to enforce the law and lock these criminals up!  It sucks because Homeless people think they can get free medical care and free food and free tents so they all come here!  lol.  In the 1st 15 minutes of this hour long demonization of the homeless, not a single homeless person actually got interviewed.  They just shot videos of the memtally ill and drug addicted archetypal bums lining the streets, screaming and decompensating or passed out in a drunken stupor in a pile of garbage.  Not even a passing thought about how so many people got this way to begin with, or how lousy THEIR lives are.  It just sucks because it's ruining MY life because I have to look at it and I don't feel safe!

Even if locking them all up WAS a solution, how is that gonna get paid for?  They sure aren't gonna vote to have their Property Taxes raised to build more jails and hire more prison guards.

Now, I don't feel safe when I'm rolling around downtown Anchorage either on my Ewheelz and sitting at a bus stop with half a dozen hard cases arguing with each  other or with people who aren't actually there, but I am not so stupid as to think you could fix this just by having a bus rolling around with cops loading them in and driving over to the station to charge them with violating the vagrancy laws, drinking in public, smelling really bad and yelling too loud.

Basically, the downtown  area of most major big shities now resembles the set of the Walking Dead or other post Apocalyptic TV show, and while sitiing at a downtown bus stop it's pretty hard to argue that the Collapse isn't already here.  Same thing out in many suburbs around the closed Malls, parks and Public Schools.

What's the answer? Stay home if you still have one, have your groceries delivered by InstaCart and stream another rerun of a Superhero movie.  The city streets won't be improving anytime soon.
