That piece, and KOMO's larger project, are toxic right-wing propaganda. Please don't consider that a reliable source.

I don't think calling it propaganda is quite right. "Muckraking" is probably more accurate.
Muckraking implies at least a casual desire to stick to the facts, which is entirely absent from Sinclair-owned stations.
Have you walked through Pioneer Square or down Third Avenue in Seattle recently?
Yep, I have!

Homelessness is a profound and society-wide problem, with no easy answers unless you consider "spend way more money, build way more housing" an easy answer (which I do).

Until we do those things, it should be no surprise that a region with skyrocketing rents has a housing crisis, and that will present itself in myriad unpleasant ways.

I don't even want to begin to engage upon what you purport KOMO to be, because I don't really care... But the people and lives that video shows are real. Do you have left-wing friendly media pieces to balance it out? This is not something that is typically portrayed positively in media in Seattle, so it's not easy to find good news
You do you HN. Downvote the uncomfortable opinions! That'll surely help everyone
