    I wish people would do something in Seattle to clean the mess.

    But why is it so bad in Seattle, and not other places? Well. You can live there and steal and take no responsibility for it. NO. IT"S THE SYSTEM.

    It's not just Seattle. It's no secret that places with high real estate values have more homelessness, and it's no secret that homeless are naturally attracted to cities. It's simply easier to be homeless downtown than in the middle of an empty field somewhere. And Seattle puts a lot less effort into hiding their homeless than most places do.

    What about the LAW. Why is it that they can't do anything? You commit crimes and take no responsibility for it. Law enforcement can't do anything. Their hands are tied. And now, they are running with stolen converters. Such a beautiful state, but run down.
     
    Jarhed1964 and TallJoe Thank this.

    Fake news. Seattle has a higher incarceration rate than Detroit, Chicago and New York City.

    But the LAW isn't served. People don't take responsibility for theft. It's not fake. It's real.

    Watch Seattle is Dying. You have law enforcement speak up. And check statistics on stolen converters in Seattle.

    Meaningless platitudes. The facts are what they are.

    Yeah right, just like California was supposedly on the verge of collapse each and every day of the past sixty years, but it still hasn't actually happened once yet.

    You can believe what you want. The problem is people not recognizing the problem. So, it will continue to go down. I am visiting Washington and have to pay extra money to book extra nights since I don't want to leave belongings in my rented vehicle. They target vehicles near trailheads. You might also find your converter gone. I have been warned--visiting this summer.
    National Parks even warn their visitors. You can find a warning on their website.
