I think the first thing to figure out is why there are so many homeless people in one place. Disproportionate to the overall population.

Ok.......It specifically talks about the area around the home stadium making it relevant to Seahawks football.

For example, you go to a city with a population of 50,000, and you will maybe see a couple homeless people, and that's if you look. You go to a city with 500,000 and suddenly there's congregations of thousands of them.
Why doesn't the ocal populace start hassling them?
Why not stop providing free clinics and social services if they are just going to repay the community by continuing to be homeless?
I don't live in Seattle, but my guess is most people who do live there must like a huge homeless population. According to some quick Google searches, 2.3% of king county population is homeless.
Exactly. As if Seattle is the only city with drug and homeless problemsName me one major city that doesn’t have this problem.

I'm just saying there's obviously not enough motivation to not become homeless in the first place. Make it really scary.
I've been to Atlanta, it's a sh**hole in several areas. Go to San Francisco and take a look at their homeless and drug problems downtown. It's horrendous.

The Sounder (Amtrak) train isn't like typical public transport. There are a few Sounder trains running on game day. When I'm in the area and can catch a game, I'll take the Sounder train in from Edmonds. When the train unloads, it's a huge throng of people making their way to the stadium. It's harder to be targeted for crime that way. It's the same defensive strategy that schools of fish employ.UW did an environmental study of Seattle public transit and found that 100 percent of air or Surface samples were contaminated with meth or fent. Bus drivers are filing workers comp.
I wouldnt Take public transport there for that reason. Do most ppl drive? What are the parking fees like? At Levi’s, it’s half a game ticket.
I had an interesting experience in Russia, almost 30 years ago. I was on a regional bus between a couple of small cities. Some guy in the back had gotten way too drunk, and vomited. The driver apparently had a helper, and this helper came back to investigate. He made the drunk guy clean the vomit up the best he could using his (the drunk's) own jacket, then they threw him off the bus. (The bus was stopped.) I don't remember if the people applauded or not, but I remember thinking that's the way it's done.Alright I thought of something. How about instead of doing something cruel and belittling like Soylent green or Running Man, we collectively stop feeling bad for homeless people. Stop giving them money when they beg.
When you have a family member or friend who chooses to get addicted to drugs or gambling or whatever, stop saying "oh poor him, he has an addiction and needs help". Instead, the mentality should be "what a dumbfuck who purposely chose to dig his own grave". People feed off of pity. They like it. Don't pity them. Hate them.
