    Homelessness is a mental health issue. It's not a an issue of people coming from outside the city seeking work.

    About 25% of homeless persons come from outside of the city they are homeless in. And, about the same amount have some degree of mental illness.

    Nice try ----Laughable. I suspect your "partnership" is desirous of funding and donations. ---It's well known that homelessness is a mental health issue. I imagine that you also get taken in by the people with the cardboard signs at intersections.

    Homelessness can occur because of many issues layered on top of each other. You really should not speak on serious subjects you don’t understand. It makes you look stupid and doesn’t help anyone.

    Homelessness CAN occur from many different issues, but in the end, it's a mental health issue and is a choice.

    It may make the libs here feel a little better if we change the wording here to "Chronic Homelessness" and state that that is a mental health issue and is a choice. Libs like to group Temporary Homelessness in with Chronic Homelessness together and call it the same issue.

    Anyway, the point of the thread is that $15 an hour minimum wage didn’t wreck Seattle as was predicted.

    Now I don’t know if a $15 an hour minimum wage is right nationally but something like $11.25 probably is. Raising the minimum wage is good for the American worker and will push up many other wages.
