Pangolini Pie..
i have watched the video and i read the comments above..
the shelters they described do not exist in Seattle.
if we want to get the homeless off our streets there is an economical solution that works
give them the kind of shelter where they can begin to rebuild their lives.

what we do now is chase them out of the camps they create for stability and put them back on the merry go round of looking for another place to camp or a shelter they are locked out of during the day.. without providing the time and space for them to even clean themselves to go job hunting.,., hauling all of their belongings with them.

it’ a lose lose scenario.. for which we currently blame and incarcerate them.

I find that merchandise humorous and one of the unique qualities of NW Art & Frame. NWAF is my go to for little gifts, which includes some of the more spicier items. I’ve lived here for over 25 years – and they have always had these cute gifts. If you find it offensive, then dont buy it or look at it! Dont be sad! It’s just not your thing, and that’s ok.

I was in Northwest Art and Frame this morning to buy greeting cards. I was quite offended by the rude merchandise displayed in several places. Placed over some items were signs that said “for adult eyes only.” Is anyone else offended by this?

I did let the cashier know what I thought. She said she woukd pass it on to management.

It makes me sad—I really like/liked this store.

JoB, I don’t know who you’re addressing but if you’re talking about the Rhode Island solution proposed in the video, all I can say is you haven’t watched the video. It’s linked in the first comment; please check it out. These aren’t the shelters you’re thinking of.

[JoB]

just a question.. have you been in one of those shelters?
would you sleep in one?

a few years back the only path off the streets for a friend was one of those shelters..
one of the better ones…

and i feared constantly for the friend who had to go live there to get help.

I agree with CarDriver that people’s families should be able to help them….but if you’ve ever dealt with someone in the clutches of an addictive drug like meth or heroin, you know that there often comes a point where the drug is stronger than familial love. The addiction can tear apart even the non-addicted people in a family, and sometimes people have to step away to preserve their own lives.

The solutions proposed in that video (“Seattle Is Dying”) – which, by the way, everyone in Seattle should watch – are realistic and we should try them. Whenever someone says, “Ok, what’s YOUR solution” to the homelessness problem, point them to that video. There are things we could at least be trying! And by getting the addicts off the street, the homeless who are not addicts might have a better chance at obtaining services that can help them too.

Seriously, though: watch the video.

Hi Fox_Finn, WSeaRsd – I’m due in May and we’ll find out in April whether our nanny is available to start in Sept when I go back to work. If so, my preference is to do a nanny share and we’re looking for participants. Can keep you posted if you are interested.

[Tony S]

I don’t have any information that I can provide you, but I’ve always been fascinated by the number of restaurants and watering holes that existed in the industrial areas of Seattle back in the day. There was the Nifty, and the Harbor Island Tavern, plus the Dutchman over on 1st and Spokane. Plus the Blew Eagle on Spokane just west of the Chelan Café. My guess is it goes back to the days before the WS Freeway existed?

[Tony S]

You can contact the Seattle DOT, they have a contact section at the Seattle.Gov site. I have had both positive and not so helpful experiences, but it’s worth a shot. They’re the ones that “own” the traffic signals.

Hey, @giglsmith, why did you perceive what I said as an attack on you? If you are working to help people, good for you. What I was referring to, when you told me to stfu, was the numerous people who dehumanize folks living without homes who do nothing to help.

[Michael Waldo]

I heard someone from Union Gospel Mission interviewed. He said every night the “love van” goes out to the homeless camps with socks, hot chocolate and offers of a bed. They have empty beds to offer but get few takers. Folks don’t want to go inside because they can’t do their drugs or drink, or they have a dog, or they are so mentally ill they think the CIA wants to imprison them. I think we need to enforce the no camping and no shooting up drugs in public laws. The Mission says folks come from other places and call our city “Freeattle” because they can camp anywhere they want, do drugs and no one will stop them. Start enforcing the laws and word we get around and folks won’t come here from all over. By law we can’t force people into treatment. We need people smarter then me to come up with real solutions. I too won’t go downtown to shop or eat. I don’t feel safe and I don’t like the harassment from the some aggressive street folks. Last time I drove downtown at night to eat, I had to dodge several either stoned or mentally ill people who just wandered into the street in front of me. I spent time in India and it appalls me that our city looks like the the street scenes I experienced there. We just need some cows wandering the street and some rickshaws.

No one was there as of yesterday afternoon. So all of this “you can’t get anyone to move” nonsense is just that. I dearly wish people spent as much energy working for affordable housing and job services as they do complaining about people experiencing homelessness.
