I am passing along the links to a pair of stories in the news today about homelessness, including an op-ed piece in The News Tribune from State Representative Melanie Morgan, asking Pierce County to act now to address homelessness: https://www.thenewstribune.com/opinion/article256503331.html

Up in Seattle, Publicola offers a piece congratulating Seattle for the way that it took a months-long approach to clearing an encampment while pointing out that there are not enough shelter resources to duplicate the process in other locations: https://publicola.com/2021/12/13/a-new-approach-to-encampment-removals-is-limited-by-a-lack-of-places-for-people-to-go/
