A million dollars of fencing is pretty easily beaten with any bike thief's tools.

Have to agree with Sawant. Progressives and conservatives wanting to help the homeless seem more intent on removing the dignity of the homeless than anything else. Sure the conditions seem decrepit but provide some services and some choices instead of forcing. Take Marymoor Park and turn it into a tent park. Route bus and social and police services to it. Have a section where violent people can live. Have a section where sex offenders can live. People still have a tendency to think creating loft space for artists is the best way to transition the homeless. Ask them what they want? Electricity? showers? Data connections? Day care? Anti tent city people are just people who haven't had to downsize their life expectations. These people don't want nannies. They want more freedom not less.

There is a sandwich station right behind city hall under I-5. The customers have to jaywalk across freeway exit traffic all day long. Crosswalk needed?

So, I wonder what Burgess solution then is for the homeless people who will be displaced by the Seattle version of a Trump Fence...

Burgess's solution is to continue icily ranting about the danger of encampments and ignore the people who are displaced from them. .

@2 "Have a section where violent people can live."

And have Snake Plissken on speed dial.

@5 I thought he was dead?

@6 Yeah, you and everybody else...

So it's illegal to be there now, and the fence will do what exactly? Make it more illegal? Convince them all to flap their arms really hard and fly to California?

Are people in charge of this kind of money actually this stupid?
