what is the fuss? The money goes to the rich and the homeless grows each year.
World Cup?? Oh great soccer thugs in town to fight the drug gangs.
Where are they going to temporarily hide the homeless during this time frame?
What a great excuse to clear out the homeless
Now Seattle officials are going to clean up the city like what San Francisco did…🤣🤣🤣…losers….
Yeaaaaàh babe°°
Ohhh, I can't wait to score that $17 beer.
Hopefully the city is clean by then cus I'm in that MF .
Les Goooooalllllll😌😌😌😌
4 billion people lol
World Cup? Never heard of it. What sport is that?
They can get robbed in Sodo, see the junkies at pikes market, get harassed by homeless “what a beautiful city” they will say!
Don’t be so excited the wealth from economic activity will be fast taxed by local politicians and disappear in never ending homeless industrial complex
BFD!
Yes, Seattle will have the drugs and prostitutes covered, so
Can't wait for it!! Time to attend my 2nd World Cup (2006 In Kaiserslautern Germany US/Italy) and this time I get to take my daughter as a graduation gift to her!
Let the money solve the homeless problem in the PNW
"This is a walkable city" yeah, if you want to hopscotch around needles, poo, and homeless ppl
Seattle just can't stop digging itself into a hole. Emmett Watson was right. It should be a Lesser Seattle campaign, not Greater Seattle. This self destruction by monied interest has been going on in earnest since the 1962 World's Fair. This was a lovely town at one time. We're going to be a blighted city.
Be interesting to see where they put the homeless and clean things up before the event
The only city in America who cares about “futbol”
They can see and step over thousands of homeless people, and look at all the empty buildings.
