There is a story going around in the local legacy media, about an organization called “Challenge Seattle” which is behind the provision of funds for a new “tiny housing village” to be erected in the South Park neighborhood of Seattle. It’s well-known around here that the new Socialist Mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, has homeless housing as a top priority in her new administration. She has stated many times that her “Housing First” policy, backed by the entire “Homeless-Industrial Complex”, will get a running start and ample funding to get unhoused people off the streets and into “wraparound services”.

Here is a quote from one of the stories about Challenge Seattle and its work with Wilson and the city council, which has put forward a bill for the housing.

The Seattle City Council is moving forward with legislation that would significantly expand the size of temporary homeless shelters across the city, despite the removal of a proposed amendment that would have created buffer zones near schools. (…)

Push not to include amendments

Still, several nonprofit groups that testified during the committee meeting urged council members to pass the bill without amendments, arguing the added restrictions could slow the delivery of resources to people experiencing homelessness and further stigmatize them as second-class citizens.

“It resembles the organization of a prison more than of a shelter,” Anitra Freeman with SHARE/WHEEL said during public comment. “In all your legislation, trust experienced providers more, work with providers and act on reason and compassion, not fear.”

Please note the comment from someone who works for the biggest “non-profit” in the Homeless-Industrial Complex in Seattle. It is widely known how much of their government grant funding goes directly back into the pockets of the DemocRats in Seattle and King County.

The CEO of the group “Challenge Seattle” just happens to be former Washington Governor Christine Gregoire, whose re-election campaign was widely assumed to have cheated to win by continually finding “new ballots” to count, until she won over Dino Rossi. The companies who are part of this group include the usual suspects, Microsoft, T-Mobile, and Starbucks (all of whom have announced plans to move personnel and operations out of Seattle recently. Most of those companies also donate significant campaign cash to DemocRat politicians and causes.

Tiny housing villages serve another unspoken purpose in Seattle. That would be providing fixed addresses for Seattle’s preferred voters, the “unhoused”. It is expected that many ballots for the next election will have addresses at the various tiny house villages already sited in Seattle neighborhoods. It is worth Katie Wilson’s attention to erect as many of these villages as possible before August when the next primary election takes place. Every tiny house will be allocated, and receive a ballot for its resident, all of whom will reliably vote for Democrats on the ballot. … when they aren’t passed out from drug use. Most tiny home villages readily allow for tenant drug use, and “Harm Reduction” units come by with clean needles and foil for fentanyl smokers. Little houses are trashed and left uninhabitable, since tenants are NOT required to actually use all those “wraparound” services offered.

Also, the ordinance advancing in the City Council allows tiny home villages in the vicinity of schools, endangering students, staff, and teachers. Well, in Seattle they do have more dogs than children, and more “unchurched” than in most cities, so it’s easy to put the homeless drug addicts before local schools and kids. Seattle residents have complained loudly for decades about the expanding presence of homeless camps in their neighborhoods, with the city turning a mostly deaf ear to their complaints. And still, Seattle residents reliable “vote blue no matter who”, which doesn’t help their case much.

Showing the extent of the problem, here’s another story about the harmful effects of allowing “unhoused neighbors” in the city. It concerns a suspicious death in a homeless encampment.

A dead man was found inside a tent encampment in Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood on Thursday morning, prompting a Seattle Police Department (SPD) investigation.

SPD said a 911 call just before 9 a.m. reported a suspicious death at an encampment near Cheasty Boulevard S. and S. Winthrop Street, SPD announced.

There was a large contingent of SPD officers at the scene.

“The only information I can put out right now is that there is a deceased male inside a tent encampment,” SPD Detective Eric Muñoz said. “Our detectives are on scene trying to determine what led to his death.”

Please also note that the Seattle Police Department is severely short-handed, with officers leaving in a steady stream. This is due to their awareness that the City Council gives them little support, and heavy oversight.

For some reason, the City of Seattle and King County seem to support the homeless more than their citizens in their neighborhoods. Those citizens are increasingly seen as just piggy banks for the Socialists’ pet projects, all of which benefit mostly their non-profit cronies. As the Funds go Round and Round, landing in DemocRat pockets, more citizens are thrown off the merry-go-round and out of the city and state.

I wonder when they will run out of “other people’s money”?
