February 21, 2022 Ayisha H “yep I was previously chronically homeless cause I had an eviction on my record for trying to file for disability in 2003 to get help with several psychiatric disorders….it took over a year to see my disability payments. I could not pay rent and was eventually evicted. when you have eviction on your record your blacklisted from most everything for 7 years. I was in my family shelters with my kids and shoveled into emergency low barrier section 8 ghetto like crestion point where there are daily stabbings, shootings, robbery drugs galore and really the property management looked the other way. IT was an apartment complex of like 200- 250 units and they had only two security personal. I endured for 8 years in that hellhole till my 13 year old daughter almost got raped and I literally became homeless for two years to escape because I couldnt taken my section 8 voucher with me. I finally found a safe place in Bellevue and now they want to turn it into south seattle. If they want to put people in the hotel who are truly seeking mental help like I was an am, taking thier meds like they are suppose too, truly refraining form illegal activities and truly seeking help for drug abuse I have no problem with them but thats not who they are trying to put here. These will be people from the homeless camps that stay on the street because they refuse to have any “strings attached” to get housed. Dont let them do it.”
February 16, 2022 Karen N. A “It’s the comments I’m reading that further illustrate that we are living in two separate realities here in King County. The fact that anyone can’t see what has happened to the city of Seattle in the past 10 years, is beyond comprehension. I’m not sure if people are delusional or simply not paying attention. This house would be literally 100 ft. from a school. I’ve worked with the homeless on the streets of Seattle for almost 8 years before Covid hit in 2020 and I can tell you unequivocally, it is unforgivable that the Kirkland City Council would approve this. Those who don’t understand this are the ones responsible for ensuring this area continues to disintegrate.
Anyone who wishes to disparage me for believing this and are not willing to personally house some of these people themselves or go on the streets at night and help them, need to hold their breath because their objections here are just hypocritical hot air.
