Good assortment of people! First item of business will perhaps be to teach everyone that the problem is "homelessness" not "homeless" (the state of being, not the people)
@6, no, we will need another committee to actually call any other committee that. But first we should have 5 town hall meetings so we can get the publics feelings about having a committee set up to study the parameters of the committee to study the committee to end the committee to end homelessness.
Though before going forward we should do have another committee set up to study the schematics of the 5 town hall meetings.
Where is Dorsal Plants on this list?! He ran his entire City Council campaign on the Homeless issue, and McGinn specifically called him out as someone he'd want advising his office on this issue.
Ending homelessness is great, but what about the chronic inebriates who aren't looking for housing and resist any attempt at treatment? What about the mentally ill living on the street? What about the car campers? What about the "free spirit" vagabonds?
Left off your list was Alison Eisinger, ED of Seattle King County Coalition on Homelessness. Tom Tierny isn't an advocate; he's the ED of a federal housing agency.
Maybe they could put a big chain link fense around the camp and sell tickets to come watch McGinn cure laziness?
Absolutely! In fact, form a committee for proper hobo semantics. Before we can cure the homeless we must cure improper verbage!
Does anyone second my motion?
"That was the worst job of pissing yourself I've seen all week. Back home with you!"
Though before going forward we should do have another committee set up to study the schematics of the 5 town hall meetings.
Inaction breeds more homeless.
