“Take your life in your hands” when you try to go camping? how hyperbolic.

It's not "lefties" it's "people." There's just more of them. More people, more problems, more compounding of problems. Doesn't matter what your political ideology is. Most people would rather live in a place with civil liberties than one that enforces religious dogma through law and enacts hate against non-whites, non-straight, and women in policy. So they tend to overcrowd the few places where they can have those liberties.

The people who believe in those things but don't like the overcrowding then move. Other like-minded people then follow. Over time, their destination becomes attractive to enough people it starts to face the same overcrowding problems.

Solution is to enact civil liberty policies and unwind religious dogma from law everywhere so future generations in the currently unattractive less-populated areas won't grow up so bigoted. Then there's no need to have places like Seattle get so overcrowded.

Honestly there is nothing keeping you out of pikes place. It's as busy as always. Nobody is going to attack you in broad daylight. This is so hyperbolic it's laughable. Just don't go traipsing about alone downtown in the middle of the night and you are safe.

The city is bigger and has big city problems. Homelessness shouldn't be criminalized. Addicts need help. Things clearly need to get better, but pushing camps around the city is expensive and extremely disruptive to people trying to survive. The city needs to improve, but unless your camping on the sidewalk you're probably safe.
