Seattlefag here.

Saw this EO and have mixed feelings about it. While I think it would be great to get some traction on this, Trump doesn't realize just how fucked the drug/vagrancy problem is. I refuse to call it homelessness because it isn't. In our city, we have a program called DESC, the continuation of the defunct SHARE program (commies love acronyms). Both have pissed away hundreds millions of dollars and every DESC shelter is hotbed of drugs, crime, and vagrancy.

The real issue though is how this blue cities fund "outreach". Basically, what they do is create an org that manages a large sum of cash, doling it out to various non-profits and charities to do the job for them. There is no actual accountable homeless program in any of these blue cities. This allows them to refuse audits of how the money is spent (since they're not under the jurisdiction of the city), gives them license to steal the money (since no one can see the books), funnel the money to "mutual aid" (read; Antifa), and even deny entry to watchdogs and other orgs who want to know what's going on inside them. For the record, they're shitholes where murders and ODs are common. It's called "The California Model", because Cali has multiple funding "authorities" like this. The goal is to obfuscate and complicate responsibility while providing "make-work" jobs for lefties that ultimately do nothing or make the problem worse.

This is why I don't think him redirecting or shifting federal funding will do much good, since these states are fine with just taxing more. Hell, Seattle just passed a "safety tax" with no real decision on how or where the money will be spent, indicating they knew this was coming and will just squeeze locals for more tax gibs.

Anyone else have any insight or thoughts on this?

Given how things are gone i'm going to assume anyone off their meds is now at risk of being arrested, or at least being presumed to be off their meds.
So basically if you look unkempt and are acting weird you there's now probably cause to arrest you. The definition of 'unkempt' and 'weird' are left up to the opinion of the one making the call.

humans have gone thousands of years as hunter gatherers, migrating, not having a "permanent home" but now it's considered a mental problem... odd

Ex-Bellinghamster chiming in. That once quaint college town became over-run with drug addicts and street criminals. City parks, woods, and even state land/forests overflowing with junkies living in tents. Sorosian DA refuses to prosecute. Police department gutted and jeeted. It was a nice run until about 10 years ago, then it went so far down the shitter that it cannot be saved. Retired Californians bid up house proces beyond the ability of those living on the local economy to afford. I moved to a flyover red state.

I want to disagree but I can see blue cities botching it like that. Arresting random people for vagrancy and letting fuckers stay in their tents smoking dope. Whatever the smart move is on vagrancy, blue cities always do the exact opposite.

>I moved to a flyover red state.
That's my plan as well. Finish my certs, get a better job with a company I've had my eye on, and request a transfer elsewhere in the US that isn't a blue shithole.
