      I mean, that’s a significant amount of data to compile from folks that probably won’t be filing right into your database for you. You have to get people walking around encampments with a clipboard in a whole lot of places.

    I moved to Seattle at the start of the plague (perfect timing I know). I don’t have first hand experience from the before times but for sure the last couple of years the amount of homelessness has gone way up. Apartments here are raising rent like wild. They’re definitely testing the line for how many people they can lose to increased prices while still coming out ahead with the people who remain. Once the work from home or fired tech workers move out in full force it’s going to snowball I think. I wonder if Seattle is going to collapse similar to how Spokane did back in the day after manufacturers moved out…

    Gee, it’s almost like corporatizing real estate rental property without proper oversight leads to robber barons trying to squeeze blood from a stone, inevitably resulting in a collapse of the entire system…

    It’s okay.

    Biden is focused on the most important issues: running us further into debt to fund other countries’ wars and trying to form coherent sentences.
