True though many factors were scientifically factored in to determine who the happiest states are.Quality of Life does not equate to happiness. Quality of life is highly subjective. Whereas one person may define quality of life according to wealth or satisfaction with life, another person may define it in terms of capabilities (e.g., having the ability to live a good life in terms of emotional and physical well-being). A disabled person may report a high quality of life, whereas a healthy person who recently lost a job may report a low quality of life.
Quality of life
I seriously doubt that the Seattle homeless in the downtown area is driving businesses out. In fact, merchants are paying sky high prices for commercial retail space in the downtown section. Unlike so many cities, there are few empty stores in the downtown area. People still shop, eat, drink, and work there despite the homeless and parking fees that run $15 to $20 for a couple hours of parking during the day.Seattle is dying in other ways too. This is one company that is targeting the homeless/drugs/violence problems in the difficulties of doing business in the city and are considering moving out altogether. No doubt more will follow.
Bartell Drugs says it will not open any more stores in downtown Seattle after violent assaults on employees
Maybe, just maybe the city will reconsider real solutions to the problems......but I'm not holding my breath

And no large city has found a solution to chronic homelessness.
Yeah, Denver is just about dead. In 2018, they ranked 5th in economic growth among all large cities with an unemployment rate of 2.7%, expected economic growth over next 10 years is 45%, property values increased 14%, and jobs increased by 3.2%.Another dying city ,just like Denver ,high rents, fees and taxes at every turn,panhandlers,, liberal thinking, doomed .

I think if you look at those cases, you'll find they are mostly petty crimes such as vagrancy, disorderly conduct, sleeping on public property, illicit drug use which carry a small fine or a short time in jail which is exactly what the prep is hoping for, a few weeks or months in a bed off the streets and out the cold. For the chronic homeless jail is not a deterrent. For the city it's a costly punishment that does no good at all. As one judge said, for the cost of prosecuting, providing a defense attorney, court expenses, and jail we could put these people up at the Hilton for 3 months and save the city money.Did the miss the part where 100 individuals are responsible for 3,600 criminal cases in the last 6 - 12 months?There is no reason to watch it. KOMO is owned by Sinclair Broadcasting whose been in bed with Trump since he started campaigning. It's a hatchet job. Sinclair's goal has been to counteract the bias by major networks by broadcasting biased programs at the local level. This is a good example.Typical. Since you can't articulate a thesis, then I am not watching your video. Just that simple.Typical, watch the video, then tell me they’re enforcing the laws! Until then, stay off the thread...
Thank you OL.
Although the video continuously blames the city administration, mayor, and city counsel, and the courts, nowhere in the video did they interview the chief of police, the mayor, city councilmen, or anyone from justice. Nowhere in the video did they address what is being done to prevent homelessness.
The only solution the video offered was to jail the homeless, which include nearly 3000 families with women and children. Most of Seattle homeless have never been charged with a crime yet the video see the jail as the solution.
To continue and justify this is ludicrous! No one is denying they need help, but this isn't helping them. What you're saying is "It's okay to destroy the environment you occupy and the people who you affect it's just too bad for them", that's a recipe for disaster. The laws are to protect the innocent, in this documentary its quit clear plenty of innocent people are affected negatively and the elected leadership of Seattle is oblivious to their constituents. We will not survive as a nation with this lack of logic...
So you think that poor management is called liberalism? You are way off course son...
Tough reality is not part of a Liberal agenda, how we sink deeper into denial...
They’re destined too fail with this mentality, and they want to tell you President Trump has no idea what he’s doing with the wall at our Southern Border? This is a case in point that clearly demonstrates why you should enforce the laws...
Cities that are run by republicans only have zero problems? All I see that is red is the country and in the country there is a housing shortage and sparse jobs but land is cheap enough to own a shotgun shack at least.Another dying city ,just like Denver ,high rents, fees and taxes at every turn,panhandlers,, liberal thinking, doomed .

Denver, like Seattle, is guaranteeing they will get much more of what they have decided to tolerate. A city that is one big homeless encampment is a death cult and it won't long exist as somewhere people care to live.The disease spread to Denver....
This is analogous to the way California has developed a two tier system of laws: one for the citizenry and one for the illegal immigrants that flooded the state.I was in Seattle a little over ten years ago and I noticed how the once beautiful parks have been turned over to filthy huts and deranged people. The hypocrisy of it all is that a law-abiding citizen can be ticketed for a minor violation like littering or drinking an alcoholic beverage in public but degenerates are free to piss and shit on public property and shoot drugs without recourse. The entire west coast seems to be the same way as well as other liberal enclaves like Colorado. Maybe the democrats have a system of busing them to the polling booth. Nothing else makes sense.
I live in the Seattle area now and have for many years. With the exception of a few parks near downtown, parks in the Seattle area are just as beautiful as they ever were, old growth forest, magnificent views of Puget Sounds and Lake Washington, streams, water falls, beaches, alpine meadows, and hundreds of miles of bike and hiking trails. Within an hour's drive there are two national parks, Rainier and Olympic National Park, over 40 state parks. Few places in the country can match the Seattle area when in comes to parks.I was in Seattle a little over ten years ago and I noticed how the once beautiful parks have been turned over to filthy huts and deranged people.

Republicans hate large cities because they are predominately democrat. There are no cities with a population over a million that are mostly republican and only 4 of the 40 largest cities. Cities like Abliene, Junction City, or Mountain Home don't have homeless people in their parks because the only parks they have are ball fields. There's no reason for a homeless person or most anyone else to be there. Big cities have big problems because they have lots of people and high population densities.Cities that are run by republicans only have zero problems?

There's no doubt the homeless, people with mental and substance abuse problems, have a right to exist. The question is do they have the right to exist wherever they like at the expense of everyone else? Undoubtedly not.
