Tomorrow @ 3 PM the @PierceCoCouncil will vote on a new revenue stream to fund #AffordableHousing here in Pierce that would generate $20M/year to begin tackling this crisis. For a primer on the issue, check out @mattsdriscoll's latest column below🧵👇thenewstribune.com/opinion/articl…

@PrestonCabeza I live a few blocks west of Pearl/N 21st, and while it doesn't have the small shops (and charm) of Proctor, I can walk to my bank, dentist, doctor, pharmacy, a full grocery, and I'm not far from the Co-op and Tacoma Boys. There are a few restaurants too.

@AITA_online A recipe is a guide. Period. But, this reveals some significant personality differences that these two will need to figure out.

@nate_bowling It is infuriating. When energy costs go up, all other costs go up. When energy supply is interrupted (see Ukrine war, Russia with only one asset for revenue, OPEC cutting supply to support Russia) all energy costs go up. No tax policy can fix this.

Seems like this has the same 8th Amendment problem as other bans. Where are people supposed to go???

Tacoma is looking at another tent ban: Making it a crime to be homeless. It's a complicated issue. Latest Crossing Division podcast with Tacoma Councilmember John Hines to find out why he supports this. crossingdivision.com/2022/10/07/let…

One of our interns for @DerekKilmer was recently asked an important question about elections: how do I vote if I'm unhoused? I initially didn't know the answer and wanted to share what I learned for anyone who's able to help spread the word. 🧵 piercecountywa.gov/6940/Voters-Ex… (1/4)

@Kamaumaumau I always figure that people with strong political motivations vote in primaries, and I have no idea who tunes in just for the general, at least when it's not a presidential election year.

@Kamaumaumau Is that Jorts the Cat in the logo? If so, this makes me even more happy.

Today’s a great day to pass #SafeParking (again) for those experiencing homelessness with a vehicle in #PierceCounty. Needing a safe place to park for a few nights as folks get stabilized and find transitional housing is the very least we can do.

@benmaritz I agree with that. The situations listed in the article are worse than what we have in Tacoma too.

Long, but informative article. What if what we see as policy failure is actually the policy working as intended? newrepublic.com/article/166383…

@benmaritz No, but even when there is a commitment to building public or steeply subsidized housing, which there is not, building takes time. So immediate options are critical, even if that means tents.
