Katie Wilson's Seattle Promised 500 Homeless Units Built 75 $17K Shacks
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Seattle had grand plans: 500 units of homeless housing ready for the 2026 World Cup. What taxpayers got instead is Bayside Village — 50 tiny homes in Interbay, each costing between $16,000 and $17,000 apiece. That's 75 total, roughly 15% of what was promised. City leaders are celebrating it anyway.The shelters are manufactured by Pallet, a company that markets them as emergency-room-style stabilization for the unsheltered. Even Pallet's own CEO acknowledges that housing alone won't fix the crisis — accountability and addiction treatment have to be part of the equation. Seattle's political class, led by progressives like Katie Wilson, keeps funding the same model and calling it progress.With fentanyl driving an overdose emergency that no number of pallet shacks can address, residents are left asking the obvious question: at what point does a $17,000 temporary shelter become an expensive way to not solve the problem? The math isn't complicated — 500 minus 75 is 425 units short, and counting.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics and the stories your local media won't tell you straight.#Seattle #HomelessCrisis #ConservativeNewsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
