| [MAIL] Seattle's City Council announced on Monday that it had completed the $48 million purchase of three buildings in the fashionable Capitol Hill neighborhood, to provide homes for some of the city's 12,000 homeless people. Seattle has the third highest homeless population in the country - only New York City and Los Angeles have more, according to the City Mayors Association. In June, the Seattle City Council and Mayor Jenny Durkan signed a joint proposal that included $28.5 million from the COVID relief funds, officially titled the American Rescue Plan, for the acquisition of housing. The Capitol Hill deals are part of the first round of acquisitions, with more announcements expected in the coming weeks, the city says. The buildings are due to be ready before Christmas. |

| #1 And what happens when Antifa decides to burn this housing down? Oh, I forgot the DOJ and FBI has said Antifa and BLM are not terrorist groups. I don't know how they explain the orgy of letfwing violence across the countr for past two years. |
