Your understanding of the homeless is infantile and your projection of motive on indigent, disinterested people is appalling.

Seattle is a substantially harsher place to be homeless than Los Angeles or San Francisco. I say that having known professionals who work with the homeless in all three communities. The homeless are also not a transient population; they aren't a roving band of locusts surfing the internet to find the best incentives. They generally live where they failed out.

Seattle has an extensive network of options available to the homeless that, wait for it, includes subsidized housing. I HAVE PERSONALLY DESIGNED THESE UNITS in and around Greenlake and the Space Needle. That they don't advertise should not surprise you, considering your shamefully reactionary attitude.

"Deport them to Yakima."

Fuck off.
