POST GAME ANALYSIS: This morning on @foxandfriends, I joined a panel to discuss @MayorofSeattle's 2023 State of the City Address. Public safety, homelessness, and drug addiction crisis dominated convo. While Mayor is focused on city's future, others want solutions now. #Seattle
2023 STATE OF THE CITY: @MayorofSeattle
is #Seattle's biggest cheerleader and remains optimistic about recovery. He's especially "bullish" about future of downtown. But drug addiction and homeless crisis remain major issues threatening public safety.
TRYING TO BUY TIME: @MayorofSeattle taking political gamble by admitting he doesn't have "exact blueprint" in place to address concerns lingering in downtown. But some biz owners+neighbors victimized by crime are done waiting. #Seattle
@MayorofSeattle HOMELESS STRATEGY: @MayorofSeattle says illegal camping won't be tolerated. But key piece not addressed is plan to deal with homeless who refuse shelter options+just move to other parts of #Seattle. No mention of FAR-LEFT activists undercutting his plan.
WHAT ABOUT #CHINATOWN-ID? CID is dealing w/enormous weight of city's homeless, drug addiction, and public safety crisis. @MayorofSeattle acknowledged this inconvenient truth. But again, no specific long term plan to deal w/insanity here. #Seattle
