SEATTLE (KOMO) — An explosion at a homeless encampment outside Harborview Medical Center in Seattle was the result of "multiple explosive devices" being detonated, possibly in connection to an ongoing battle for control of the drug trade among the homeless, according to a newly-released police report.

Cities with warmer climates are always a greater attraction for the homeless. When I was in Honolulu a few years ago I was surprised how many people lived in the parks at night.
Someone should tell all the deros up Cuba Street. Fuck me, I’m sure they’ve multiplied in the last year ( I don’t spend too much time in the CBD these days )

@nzzp What the hell? Was that at the mall?
Yep, two outside the mall and a third inside the New World.
Stopped by 'well hung' to try out some dry aged meat. Neat wee butchery, and the steak was really good - but it's well out of my usual way.

Been living in USA for 23 years now. Can tell you to totally avoid CA, politics aside it is just a shit hole, and people are constantly leaving for other states.
Colorado has been great, but now getting too many people moving here from CA, and voting in the same politics/policies that have failed CA so badlySan Fransicko was an eye opening read. Great book.
I recommend it for anyone wanting to see how badly the democrats fucked the place up.

This link is to quite a good piece which sets out the issues in SF. Some staggering stats
Five years and an investment of 3.5 billion dollars later, the number of homeless people has not only failed to drop, but it is increasing uncontrollably. When Farha visited (in 2018), the figure was estimated to stand at around 7,800, in 2022 this figure has increased to more than 20,000.
Got this for Christmas - yet to read it....
Great title
The sequel, investigating crime, is also a good read
