Public policy choices have consequences.

Posted on September 18, 2026 at 01:22:13 PM by LS&Play (edited September 18, 2026 at 01:24:02 PM)

The idea that encampments can take over parks and public spaces meant to be enjoyed by families and children is just offensive to me.

It doesn’t have to be like that. It’s a choice.

Woke up to graffiti removal at my biz. Seattle is a fucking dump man. Certainly compared to when I moved here in 2011. Tired of it. There's fucking encampments everywhere around me again, similar to covid* - By Daytripper September 18, 2026 at 01:08:15 PM

  - It's disgusting policy, our main park Cal Anderson currently has about a dozen tents in it, some feet from where youth sports take place every day - By Daytripper September 18, 2026 at 01:30:31 PM
- the park by me has what appears to be a permanent camp. We just did a 2 year renovation and now that it's done the main part is filled with tents and basically unusable for anyone else. I'm a live and let live type but the idea that city officials think this is a permanent solution is obscene* - By chiwalker September 18, 2026 at 01:15:16 PM
  - Leftist mayors ceding public parks to junkies, often violent repeat criminals among them, is awful policy and has no defense that isn't academic sophistry bullshit* - By Daytripper September 18, 2026 at 01:29:49 PM
    - drugs aside, there have been major fires there this summer and they found empty propane tanks. People live adjacent to the park and there are condos like 20 feet.drom the camp. Probably thought park was a perk* - By chiwalker September 18, 2026 at 01:39:20 PM
