So They Dont What An Border Wall? But Build Walls to keep Homeless out?
Mike O’Brien, Ballard’s Seattle City Council member,
biked up the Ballard Bridge last Thursday night, he counted five tents
camped under the north ramp.
He went back Tuesday, and those tents were gone. The underpass was
fenced off, and workers were drilling holes to put up a 10-foot-high
spiked fence to prevent homeless people from camping there.
The price tag on this fencing: $100,000 for both sides of Northwest
Leary Way at the Ballard Bridge. That money, O’Brien reasoned, could
have housed those five households in apartments for a year.
