I lived in Seattle from '84 to '98, got a degree at the U and hung around for some years afterward. It changed a lot during those years. Got really expensive and lost its neighborhood vibes. Now when the Emerald City is in the news, it is unrecognizable to me.
For 10 years -- when I wasn't riding my bike -- I took the bus and transferred in downtown. Saw people dealing drugs. Saw people shoplifting. Saw people panhandling. Got approached many times for money by able-bodied men. I've worked since I was 15. One year I had three jobs. I've had roommates most of my adult life to be able to afford rent. To top it off, I suffer from anxiety, depression, OCD, ADD, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, knee pain, and food addiction. I still get off my butt and work, full-time at that. Let's face it, with its lenient liberal laws Seattle enables people. Now we're seeing the consequences.
Oh yes! It's worse when your female. 2018 I was nearly assaulted by a guy asking for money ( he had his hand out) I had to yell at him to back off. When he couldn't get close enough to hit me, he gave me the finger😒😒
Take justice in ur own hands… let them break in, turn off the cameras and justice will be serve… just say I didn’t see anything… no one saw anything lol…
@@DL-iy3lf if Bruce isn't moderate i dunno what is!? No this is a complex issue re competence, real -law, and police. The SPD have been crybabbies since the mid nineties and it was plainly obvious then. They morphed a lot, both good and bad, but the mass quitting has taken a toll apparently.
Moved away from Seattle a year ago to North Carolina and I do not see any homeless and housing is cheap! But so are the wages. Housing went up way too fast in Washington as a whole! Homeless is in Spokane too, lived their for 6 months before coming to N.C. Drove across the U.S. 3 times this last year and I'll tell you. Washington is the worst place I have seen and I took 3 different routes to see for myself. Mask Nazi's are also the worst in Washington. Did not wear a mask any where else except California and Oregon. People think Ashkenazi's are just Right wing are stupid! U.N. and all institutions are corrupt, average Joe sixpack is in deep trouble.
Ok I'm actually shocked this is his first burglary in 30 years? Seattle will have no in person retail other than buy online and pick up in store ina short while.
seattle is spending upwards of 50-100k per year per homeless persons...and it is the middle class that is paying for this preposterous expenditure. When a working man is injured on the job...at most he can expect a few thousand...maybe a few tens of thousands of help over the course of his recovery to go back to work. IS it sensible for the gov to spend a million over ten years to help a junkie who has never done anything in his life of value? I'm all for helping people...but finances are limited and subsidizing junkies at a hundred k per pop seems a lot less sensible than say feeding a few thousand starving kids for the same money.
Lived in South Seattle for 56 years and wow did I see a change. I shot my first gun in Renton city limits in the 70's, banned in 1985. We the people do not control the U.S. and have never controlled it, but at least we had some say. This is not going to end well!
Hopefully Harrell does a better job than durkan, but aside from a human rights crisis there’s not really anything he can do without some meat to his “get some kind of funding from somewhere idk” plan.I think you posted a video the other day where he’s still talking about that in the abstract.
This guy: "Don't rely on government, you sheeple!" Also this guy: "Public outcry to defund the police is why the government didn't protect my store" Businesses have been closing in Seattle as a result of COVID-19. Take your tourist trap to Bellevue. One break-in in 25 years and this Chicken Little is clutching pearls.
@@poppystars9005 appears you have significantly more free time on your hands than the average person. I'd hope you'd dedicate some of it to learn the meaning of ironic, as well as how to spell. Might want to see about pathetic obsessions. Perhaps a hobby would help with your anger
Hope all the tech bros and fair weather fans leave so I can afford rent again. I remember when the central district was black and I didn't get dirty looks for walking there
Bye bye retail!!! We need housing, places to eat and things to do. Not garbage souvenirs. No one the needs clothing comes here. People that want overpriced garbage shop here. Each shirt uses something like 1000gallons of water to produce. Shop at goodwill. Stop polluting the rivers in Asia so you can have a shirt that says seattle on it.

Yep it has! Still here, and it's relatively quiet still, BUT definitely the same at all.

How has defunding the police going for Seattle 🤣 you get what you asked for .
yes, the city listened to BLM, a group that hasn't done anything to reduce black on black crime but knows how to riot when another race is involved.
@ 1:00 Bruce Harrel is a Democrat he will not stop crime

Politicians are much too preoccupied with social activism to enforce the law. I moved out of there three years ago. Glad I did.

Where did you move to?

Seattle is about to die! crime, homeless, drugs, shoplifting and more
America as a whole is dying
Seriously, what is going wrong? Housing is skyrocketing and businesses are closing.
Keep voting the D, keep getting the shaft. It's plain and simple.

In person shopping in a old building with nothing above it. Taking vital land we need for housing and services. Not retail.

I went to Ross, Target, and a Starbucks -- and then almost got shot walking to the bus stop on January 1st. 😐
Looks like he's moving because nothing is going to get done 🤷🏼♀️
BLM are you happy now?
They got their money, and bought houses in white areas for safety. They don’t care.
another Detroit
Not even close. You've obviously never been to Detroit, or were last there in 1950.
You can thank blm for the up tick in crime.

why is it a problem to ban gunfire in city limits exactly? I am a gun owner...I don't bother my neighbors with my shooting.
Move the lake and sell your shirts in Bellevue.
He got the utopia he wanted.
You have no choice but to move your business out. Some have moved to Bellevue.

Lets move

Nope, bought a house. I’ll rent it out in a few years when I buy another.
