They don't want to build more housing, is basically the entire problem.
If these people weren't evicted due to decades of new money coming in chasing old buildings, they wouldn't be on the street, and they wouldn't be mentally ill.

Mental illness and addiction are not the same thing. Not all addicts are mentally ill and not all who suffer mental illness are addicts. 

Know what you're talking about before saying something so moronic.

I'd expect them to earn the housing once the supply and demand equilibriate affordable hosuing exists again.
Drug treatment is the first step for those that are abusing drugs.  Very hard to hold down a job while addicted to drugs.
Many of them are not abusing drugs, though.

If you haven't watched the video, you probably should. They interview a homeless woman, and she states unequivocally that 100% of the homeless in Seattle that she has encountered are drug addicts.  I've  volunteered at homeless shelters and soup kitchens in the past, and I found the same to be pretty much true.

Lol. He doesn't know anything. The last time this documentary was discussed I asked if he'd seen it after he was spouting nonsense as fact. Nope, he had not.
