Agreed @16 - but the implication in the story is that she lost her nursing job, not she was fired from job for cause and now she is homeless. Not as sympathetic, perhaps. Plus it's just that it annoys me as sloppy language to refer to 'people who work in health care areas' as nurses. I recall in my youth yelling at some season of 'Survivor' when they constantly refered to a contestant as a nurse, when she was a doctors office staff person, with no nursing education.
@18 - perhaps the laws are different here but transitional housing for people with substance use issues seems like a more rules/regulation/policy based as opposed to Joe who owns an apt building and just wants rents. I would expect an apt building to cause more problems in a neighborhood than a transitional housing facility. In theory, you use or cause problems, you are out of there. not so in plain old apt living. But homeless services housing, in all honesty, I would assume would be more on par with regular apt building issues, IE no one really holding the inhabitants to certain levels of social living skills.
People who cannot work due to disability that leads to homelessnes:. Yes, very bad. a significant hole in the safety net. Definatly a place where america can do better.
But that is not who is peeing off the wall facing SCCA while yelling at people. That is not the woman I walked by who stood in my path and panhandled me downtown and when I moved around her, grabbed my arm and yelled at me.
On the other hand, if they are that nurse, I'm not unhappy they are not working as nurses.

As a nurse, it does kind of set me off to hear of a 'nurse' homeless and out of work.
Either that woman is not a registered nurse or LPN, for whom there are a plethera of jobs that pay really really well, or she was a technician or nurse aide, NOT a nurse. There is a big difference.
I wish I had some other comment to make, other than 10 years of silent vigil seems to be working as well as prayer does.
For myself, the combination of mental illness, substance use and outdoor peeing by street folks keeps me from ever being comfortable in downtown Seattle. Closer to Pioneer Square, the worse it gets.
I have no cure. I do have some NIMBY feelings. perhaps we could just roof over Pioneer Square Park and thus create additional housing where people are already living. Adequate programs and services could be made more available in downtown. but not in my neighborhood.

SACRIFICE? should we be expecting more dead chickens and goats on the front steps of catholic churches?
Wait. That's a great idea.
Back in my Queer Nation / Cry Out/Act up days, I'd be buying some live chickens right now.

I also want to add how lovely it was when Ru had us all shout out about being freaks and proud of it. I heard the neighbors next door yelling too.

It's so easy to just declare 'he's evil incarnate' and by making that judgement, satisfy your desire for vengence later when he is declared guilty or executed. and with only him to punish for the crimes of his brother, I image it will be full on life for life, right out of the Old Testament.
But he once was a boy who played, he once was a student who succeeded, he once was a 19 year old guy who couldnt figure life out and by trying something that made sense in his idiot adolescent mind, led him to killing people. He was a dumbass guy who followed the wrong leader.
I do feel sorry for him. His life is ruined, probably with a specific and horrific end that people will say is justified by his crime.
I dont think he should be out of prison, but I do have compassion for the bad things that will happen to him between now and his inevitable death.
but poetry, yeah, man, I actually kind of liked that one.
