Seattle has already been doing this for at least a year.



Seattle has set up more than one tiny house village [1], at least that I know of. Some of them even have internet access.

We still have a very real homeless problem though, and you'll see panhandlers if you drive through the city. People have even set up camps along I-5.

Do democratic/left/liberal states generate or attract more homelessness? Seems to happen with many other liberal city hubs.


Red states have a habit of having the police "suggest" to homeless people that they should get on the Greyhound bus to places like SF and Seattle.

And add to that the factor of both cities have weather that doesn't kill the homeless as quickly.


The homeless problem is worst in cities that are doing the best.
