Seattle's Tiny House Villages -

[Account Closed]

These are in neighborhoods that the landlords had no choice if the "homeless villages" were put in. The homeless can not be kicked out of the "homeless" villages for drug use or prostitution.

"Despite spending in Seattle and King County that has ballooned to $200 million a year, 

the number of people living in tents, on Seattle streets and in vehicles 

has grown 20 percent since 2016, to nearly 4,000 individuals.

So far, Seattle has seven permitted tiny house villages, though officials reportedly expect that number to increase by the end of the year."

"Each night, the villages provide more than 300 people a tiny house structure that locks, access to restrooms and showers, case management, a kitchen and a managed community," the city explains on its website.

"$12 million per mile? SDOT is planning to create 50 miles of "protected" bike lanes across the city" ???

What about traffic? Bikers seem not to know that a 2,000 pound car is heavier than a 185 pound biker. The car always wins. I've driven in Seattle many times and the roads are narrow, twisty, hilly and wet and the "sun" goes down by 4:00pm in the winter. Ok, saying "sun" in the winter is an exaggeration, in Seattle it is "grey overcast light".
