Left Coast No-Go Areas Because of Homelessness and Trash

In an article for KTTH 770, radio host Jason Rantz highlights how Williams Place Park in Capitol Hill, Seattle went from being a friendly local hangout to being “completely trashed” and occupied by naked, aggressive homeless people.

Rantz blames the ineptitude of Councilwoman Kshama Sawant for the problems.

“The park on 15th and East John is a great example of Sawant’s inattention to her own district,” writes Rantz. “Wander by on any morning, as I do every weekend, and you’ll see homeless men and women strewn about. The benches are almost always occupied by a passed out homeless person. There’s trash absolutely everywhere, including, bizarrely, right behind or on top of a nearby trash bin.”
