I live in Seattle and take the bus to work downtown every day. I think I've seen, maybe three needles in five years.

I've lived in Seattle for 1.5 years. I became numb to the hyperbole around the homeless problem here in 6 months. One side is talking facts, experimentation, and trying new things. The other side is talking feelings, fears, and taking every misstep as an opportunity to abandon any notion of solving the problem in an ethical way.
It is really interesting, especially on a site like HN, because the latter is directly contrary to the ethos of most startups.
