Def not. Seattle had a really huge explosion from the pandemic. There was the huge encampent in international district near chinatown and seattle's skid row towards 3rd st
The city hasn't really addressed the problem and are usually just sweeping it under the rug by shuffling the people around
Ah yes, surely the issue must be that people aren't eating enough poverty meals of canned beans and rice. Meat is obviously only for wall street investors

Definitely not a pest. The eagle has been a symbol of america since the founding fathers. Congress adopted it in 1782. You're mistaking the origin of the symbol with the fact that the bald eagle protection act was only passed in 1940 due to eagle population decline.
Yes, you're right about this being only the visible part of the homeless population. It's tough to really track down on the not so visible side of homelessness. There probably are many people living in cars, crashing at friend's houses, etc.
I wont deny that living or being next to these camps is terrible. I took the bus along that route and I would never get off there because you never know what could happen there.

Lots of this stem from the overall lack of safety nets, housing, education, etc. A tremendous task, but I'd love to see progress being made.
