Seattle Faces Backlash After Easing on Crimes Involving Mental Illness
I live in Seattle but I&#x27;m currently in LA. Here in Santa Monica its out of control. I just went to Starbucks and a homeless person was harassing everyone in the line, very threatening -- and the security won&#x27;t do anything about it. We can&#x27;t do anything about it or we&#x27;d be the one cracked down on.<p>I was in another coffee shop and a homeless was behind my chair with a lighter trying to light my hair on fire. My wife was harassed in the same coffee shop two days later.<p>I can&#x27;t see how this isn&#x27;t impacting tourism. Even when I went to Hawaii, Waikiki was filled with homeless taking over all the public benches.
