Crime and cost of living in your area.

Forget Seattle, it's expensive.
The homeless problem in Seattle is monumental. A girl I work with just moved from there. She had a friend that had homeless people set up camp in their front yard. She called the law and they wouldn't do anything about it !! Other similar stories. In the downtown area there is a long street that if you drive down the right side is all crack dealers, the left is meth dealers. I'm sure this situation is getting much worse as Washington has recently decriminalized small amounts of many drugs. ******, crack, meth etc.
The city has provided a "homeless camp." Very few homeless people use it because there is a 9pm " close the gate" curfew.
