It's winter in Seattle and too many local homeless face tough odds of survival due to inaction from local Democrats.
On a frigid Sunday morning at Freeway Park in Seattle, a homeless man huddled next to a makeshift fire, seeking warmth from the biting cold. By Seattle standards, it wasn’t even that cold on Sunday—certainly not compared to what it will be like as we get closer to Christmas. Yet when you’re living outside, without bare essentials, an unremarkably cold night can be deadly.
This scene is a stark representation of the conditions faced by Seattle’s homeless population during winter. Yet rather than move them indoors, Seattle, King County, and Washington state Democrats hardly lift a finger to act.5 died due to exposure to cold Seattle’s approach to homelessness, often labeled as compassionate, allows the homeless to remain in outdoor encampments with minimal to no intervention. This policy, presented as some noble attempt to respect personal autonomy, exposes vulnerable individuals to life-threatening conditions. The refusal to consistently enforce policies that would move people indoors stems from claims that sweeps are inhumane.
It doesn’t have to be this way. By implementing and enforcing policies that move individuals into shelters, especially during cold weather, we can prevent unnecessary deaths. This approach requires political will and a reevaluation of what true compassion entails. It’s time to act decisively to protect our most vulnerable citizens from the preventable tragedies of freezing to death on our streets.
