17. Good start.

Now we need only about 100 more of these in Seattle to begin to take care of the problem.

For those of you not familiar with the homeless problem in Seattle, rents for a small one bedroom apartment start at about $1200 -$1600 a month. A decent 2-bedroom is about $2400 if you have a landlord willing to negotiate.

Many working people have purchased old run-down RVs, and park them on the street. This creates problems as they have no garbage or sewer services, so their waste gets dumped on the street and sidewalks. They have to move them every few days, or their RVs get towed away by the city.

If you drive down the freeway into downtown Seattle you will see hundreds of tents set up alongside the freeway. Same garbage problem.

And it isn't much better in Tacoma, or Everett. The suburbs are starting to experience the same problems, caused by Microsoft, Amazon, and similar tech companies hiring thousands of workers and paying them astronomical salaries, thereby driving up the demand for a very limited supply of housing.
