It's time to turn our back on Housing First

King County and Seattle recently announced they will reclaim responsibility for homeless services from the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. This is welcome news, but it doesn’t go far enough. If we truly want to reduce homelessness, local leaders must recognize that the region’s failed policies must also change. If we do one without the other, we are simply rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

*****

King County and Seattle have an opportunity to move beyond the false choice between compassion and accountability. We need both. A successful system should invest in a diversity of solutions but not shy away from holding people accountable and intervening when people are too sick to help themselves. Other jurisdictions are proving that these strategies work. Local leaders should implement them here and reverse the failed policy experiments of the last decade.

Op-Ed: Give Ballard a Sounder Stop, a 3-Star Michelin Restaurant, Ice Capades, an Actual Akavit Fountain, a Denny's and a Bowling Alley While It Waits for Light Rail

My op-ed is the title of my post.

What's a thing you'd wave your wand and make happen in Seattle that you saw and loved in another city (and name the city)?

I'll start: Ubiquitous rail and bus transit. (London)
