Drug-addled streets are becoming more commonplace in major liberal U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Portland.
In Seattle, scenes of addiction have spread to neighborhoods where children must walk to school every day.students walking past addicts“It really is living through America’s slums here in Seattle,” Discovery Institute journalist Jonathan Choe told “Jesse Watters Primetime” Thursday.
Choe acknowledged Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell’s continued effort to keep “talking” about and “prioritizing” that neighborhood. However, even with the increased patrol and officers surveilling the streets, Choe argued these additional measures are “just not working” and are not leading to lasting change in the community.
Jonathan Choe said that top schools in the city are dealing with massive homeless encampments near their premises.“There is no clear blueprint,” Choe said on finding a solution. “In fact, the mayor even said during a State of the City address this past week that he’s going to do something about it eventually. But we don’t know all the details right now. And that’s the most frustrating piece on the ground. There’s no exact timeline or a strategy and plan.
“He’s feeling a lot of political pressure and heat there is no doubt because this isn’t the only school,” explained Choe, saying that other neighborhoods in Seattle are suffering from the same“The John Stanford International School in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, that’s also dealing with a massive encampment that just has been left to linger,” Choe said.
