It's like a drug user.

It's called an easement by prescription. 

Plus I do the pre-employment drug screens on contractors when they come to town. 

Husband in and out of jail, drug addict son that was always there with his low life friends.

Be a magnet for all of the burglars, rapists, thieves, drug dealers and bad guys so the rest of us no longer have to worry about them.

I also think they are on drugs

Now if it was theft or dealing illegal drugs there is a risk and it might be different but look at the whole picture as he is an existing tenant.

He knew and respected the local LLs in the Tacoma area who would rent to the mentally ill on SSI, those just out of drug rehab, and registered sex offenders and felons.  

My son worked for a company that delivered prescriptions to nursing homes and similar facilities. 

I'm hoping that the legislature here (with plenty of representatives that are NOT from super-lefty urban areas)  will be willing to consider that the downsides of allowing rent control would outweigh any benefits long term,  and there are other approaches to ease homelessness and housing availability crunch that should be considered instead (encouraging more housing construction, incentivising and underwriting riskier tenant pools instead of forcing landlords to take them; reinvestment in mental health and drug treatment programs and transitional housing, working with employers to site new job centers in underdeveloped/struggling areas, etc.)I'm certain that if the state constitution is amended Seattle will implement some kind of rent control.
