“Even some of the ones [SPU purple trash bags supplied to unsanctioned encampments] returned had been ripped apart by people looking for needles with a bit of heroin left”

@TransitGeekJoe @pastaandglue There is no such thing as safely injecting poison into one’s body.

These sites are also unsafe for neighborhoods and they push negative externalities into surrounding areas.

#SeattleForAll recommends treatment on demand and enforcement of existing laws.

“Seattle’s Navigation Team (...) estimates that 80% of the homeless individuals they encounter in challenging encampments have substance abuse disorders.”

An interesting take on #SeattleForAll

[City Journal @CityJournal]

With residents fed up by the homelessness crisis, Seattle leaders and their allies coordinate a PR campaign to convince them that everything is fine. https://t.co/SWi7TZ2V6G via @rufodox

“every day syringes were found in the Children’s Playland area. Every day syringes were found at two locations on the ballfields. (...). More than a dozen homeless encampments existed throughout the summer.”

Time to actually invest in actual treatment options and not enabling users with more needles and safe sites. Enforce the laws on the books.

“Opioid use is a significant cause of homelessness in Seattle and a reason
why many in the homeless population remain so.”

@Mariavrgus Great question! King County spends over $1 billion annually on the homeless crisis, that’s nearly $100K per homeless person.

It’s not a resource issue. The problem is that without being honest about root causes, effective solutions can’t be implemented.

“Opioid addicts who have lost stable housing have crowded into encampments on Seattle property, with the byproducts of their abuse, needles and other waste, littering Seattle streets.”

“The increased frequency and intensity of homelessness in County parks presents a myriad of issues. First, nearly every encampment in King County parks has used syringes, which present dangers to all who use the park.”

As @EricJohnsonKOMO stated in the important documentary Seattle Is Dying:
“The real homeless (...) don’t live like this, in tents on mud patches. This is something different. This is drugs, heroin, meth.”

He’s right. #SeattleForAll

To implement effective solutions, we must be willing to have honest conversations about the root causes. Let’s work together to make #SeattleForAll

“Researchers estimate that over 50% of people with opioid addictions in Seattle are homeless”

2. “Seattle’s Navigation Team – composed of outreach workers and police officers specially trained to interface with the homeless population – estimates that 80% of the homeless individuals they encounter in challenging encampments have substance abuse disorders.”

[SeattleForAll @Seattle4All]

@AlyciaRamirez3 This is clearly stated in the complaint on page 110, paragraph 349.

[SeattleForAll @Seattle4All]

“The dramatic rise in homelessness in King County is due in part to the opioid epidemic. Some estimates suggest that the majority of the homeless population is addicted to or uses opioids.”

This shatters the narrative we’ve been told. #SeattleForAll
