Seattle fines business for trash continually dumped by homeless

"You own a business. Homeless people leave feces, garbage, and needles on the sidewalks and in the brush. You clean the sidewalks every day. How does the city help? If it's Seattle they help by fining you for missing some of the garbage."

I expect there's a tax incentive for doing so since the state isn't taking care of these homeless?

Actually the business has been doing their best to clean up the trash left by the homeless but Seattle keeps fining them. The business's complaints about the homeless problem does not get the Seattle government to fix the homeless issue at this location or extra help to clean up the mess -- but the extra media scrutiny about the problem only served to enrage the left-wing government officials to provide more fines.

Another fine example of your government hard at work. This is why business owners generally dislike government entities. They do nothing to help and only cause more problems. Running a small business has enough challenges already without your local government acting like di@ks.

The more you subsidize something (homelessness), the more you will get.
