Seattle is no longer a beautiful city

I’ve lived in Seattle most of my life. It is no longer the city it was in the 1980s and 1990s. It started to go downhill around 2010, but in the fast few years has become a horrible place to live. It is no longer safe to visit our downtown core or tourist areas.
In the 1990s, when a flood of people moved to Seattle, I heard them call it ‘Mayberry with Skyscrapers’. It was referring to the fact that Seattle was a friendly place where people talked openly to one another.
Now in 2021 it is a place of crime. The liberals have ruined a beautiful city. The homeless need help, but most of them don’t want help. The ones who truly want off the streets find ways to get off the streets. For many of them, it is a lifestyle. Giving the homeless free reign with camping anywhere and everywhere, looting and stealing, and drugs is not a solution. It has though created unsafe streets, parks, freeways, and a downtown.
Allowing riots for months, freeway blockage, and random violence is also not a solution nor is it right for the government to encourage such violence.
Friendly Seattle, where we used to feel safe in taking young children anywhere and everywhere is now a haven for crime.
We are leaving as fast as we can leave.
