Obviously the heroin trade is rife with exploitation of workers if they can't even earn enough for an opium den of their very own. Whatever happened to the American Dream - a little meth lab with a picket fence and two pit bulls out in the yard. No doubt $15/hr will lift all boats.

this is a good development. as people feel confined to their families and native communities they will be less likely to reach a breaking point that results in mass stabbings or dehumanizing medication. People who stay safely enmeshed in this supportive fabric are less likely to sell-out to destructive globalist interests; i.e. selling off wild-land to faceless developers, hiring the cheapest possible labor and relying on a broadening, virtual state to provide for their descendants instead of heroically investing in a sustainable system in their own organic community.

Welcome to Seatroit.

Eventually blocks will decay into farmland.

Urban-ag, not vertical density, is Seattle's future.

But first we have to decay...rot...and kick out the scoundrels.

What a perfect post. Any of you old fogies >40 will never understand, but when a house costs $400k and a condo $200k, when your insurance comes from your parent's even when you are 25, when you earn the same amount as your father did for the same job with 20years of inflation eroding away your income, when jobs are 'free-lance' or "temp" or "seasonal", when school leaves you with $20-70k debt from a public university- the lucky and the unlucky alike get roommates, the difference only being in whether you are related to them. My generation only gets out from this trap when we are hit by a bus(literally) or are born to children of the well off. Only then can we attack our student debts and gather enough for a place to live with our ill-gotten inheritance.

It was very important to note the whiteness of the neighborhood. Yup, *everything* is about race for Charles (unless it's also about Marxism).

So some young adults with illegal weapons, dealing illegal drugs are caught breaking the law and all Charles can think of is how they had to live in their parents basement?

OH PLEASE, WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THOSE POOR DRUG DEALING GUN RUNNING ADULT CHILDREN!!!

@1 Nicely done. That will probably be the hardest I laugh all day.

If they found this guy with a decent chunk of heroin, a bunch of unlicensed guns, and some pipe bombs, WHY THE HELL DID THEY RELEASE HIM? I think that qualifies as a danger to those around him to the point where they could reasonably hold him pending trial.

Muede is the liberal Andy Rooney

@4, some of us old fogies are living in basements also, but with no hope of inheritances, no knowledge of how to make or sell meth, and no living parents to cadge health insurance from or cash to pay for Medicare supplements. Show some respect for your elders, young 'un.

@3 thanks for that link SROTU, I had no idea you were an urban Ag freak, http://www.alleycat-acres.org/ right back at ya. We have three farms here in seattle, rot and decay is what we do best, in fact we had a homicide in front of our Union st. Farm last month, nothing says Seatroit like a little deuce eight vs union hustlers throw down.

Unfortunately we seem to be a place holder for L3 zoned development, sounds like our services may be of use out in Magnolia now.
