1. I think they are low balling the estimate

could be more...

2. They're going to want to clean up the city a little first.

I'm just worried that the city's solution to the homeless problem won't be more affordable housing, but just a cheap, brusque "move along".

I'm worried that a lot of homeless people are going to suffer because of this.

3. You would think Seattle wouldn't need the economic boost

Maybe they could spend the money on the homeless?

4. I think Seattle should take a cue from Tacoma.

We have initiated a huge increase in low-income housing construction. In the neighborhoods where it is needed most. It's not a panacea. But far fewer people will be suffering on the streets as a result.

5. I saw on KING5 tonite that there are 18,000 hotel rooms in downtown Seattle.

So the overwhelming need for hotel rooms is going to impact the whole region. I think it's going to be a zoo.
