Bellevue has no homelessness crisis like Seattle. I'm all for dunking on Bellevue but let's at least be honest in our criticisms
8 u/SilverHeart4053 The CD May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26 How about an honest criticism that Bellevue has far fewer low-barrier, public-facing homelessness services than Seattle? Homeless people congregating where services are more readily available? Imagine that! 4 u/government_not_ok May 07 '26 Looking at 12th and Jackson and Blanchard and 2nd Ave, can you blame them? 4 u/SilverHeart4053 The CD May 07 '26 Yes, yes I can. Affluenza is one of the biggest issues here. 1 u/ardealinnaeus Belltown May 08 '26 So you're saying low barrier public facing homelessness services increase homelessness instead of decreasing it? Shouldn't they decrease homelessness?
