Seattle & Olympia Conduct Three Major Sweeps of Homeless Camps

2 years ago

The last 48 hours in Seattle and Olympia will have produced three significant sweeps of long-term, un-sanctioned and patently illegal homeless camps.

There's something unspoken about cities like Seattle and Olympia that manage to enable homelessness instead of preventing it: the clean-up costs. With the existing policies, the cost falls to the taxpayers. If a business piled up trash, failed to pay for garbage collection and chronically left refuse all around the property, the cities of Olympia and Seattle would instantaneously issue fines and liens on the property owner. But that won't happen with un-sanctioned homeless camps.

If a business owner in either city violates even the slightest part of a long list of city codes, a citation and fine will be imposed toot suite. But that won't happen with un-sanctioned homeless camps.

These are additional examples of how elected politicians in Seattle and Olympia like to impose strict rules on business owners ($15--or higher--minimum wage, paid sick leave, paid family leave, advanced scheduling, etc) but there are no such demands for accountability when it comes to homeless people.
