re: Seattle votes to tax businesses to pay for homeless

Watching the local news. Apparently, Seattle spent $200MM last year on the homeless or $17,000 per homeless person and the problem got worse. I have to conclude that means the money that actually reached the homeless was spent making them more comfortable rather than getting them off the streets. I'm sure $20MM more, at the expense of pissing off your largest employers, will do the trick. What a clusterfrick.
