Well, no. Regardless Seattle does bring about an interesting situation. Successful businesses have driven housing costs through the roof and as a result the poor are increasingly homeless. What do you do about that?
Median home in Seattle is now 777k

I can't afford a house in Boston, you know what I do......I don't live in Boston.
and that comment has nothing to do with the take on Spencenomics.
and the minimum wage in Seattle is that Utopian $15 an hour that was supposed to fix all financial ills, why isn't it working?

Yes, because most homeless are in control of their situation.

So then why bring up a median house price of $770k....would the homeless be better off if the median house price were $350k, that they could swing?

Because the rapid gentrification pushes people down with no where to go. It's not the only reason but it's a big part.

Why on earth are you worried about the homeless in Seattle? Seattle is a very Progressive city. No way that homelessness will exist there. The supposedly homeless in Seattle should be asked "How is your life suffering because of progressive policy?"

The progressive liberal utopia of Connecticut, is also an epicenter of income inequality, where the zillionaires of Westport and Greenwich live next-door to unimaginable poverty in Bridgeport.
