Seattle Doom Loop Worsens 21% Homeless Spike KCRHA Hid The Numbers
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
The King County Regional Homelessness Authority just released its point-in-time count — after deliberately delaying it to soften the optics — and the numbers are damning. Unsheltered homelessness is up 21 percent since 2024. Inflow is still outpacing exits. And the region has poured hundreds of millions into permanent housing that isn't solving anything.The reason is simple: you can't house your way out of a drug crisis. When you build beds with no sobriety requirements, you don't fix homelessness — you fund it. Sean breaks down exactly how the KCRHA's incentive structure guarantees failure, why Seattle is a magnet while cities like Houston and Atlanta actually moved the needle, and why the agency's leadership is now trying to spin a 21 percent spike as a sign of progress.The books are cooked, the report was buried, and Katie Wilson's KCRHA has no plan that will work. Calls to disband the agency are getting louder — and after today's numbers, it's hard to argue with them.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — Sean covers the Pacific Northwest stories the mainstream media won't touch.#Seattle #Crime #WashingtonStateGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
