Shoreline should be a sanctuary and lead by example for all other "Sound Cities". Homeless campers should be allowed to dwell in all Shoreline parks and all along the interurban trail. We need a safe injection lounge in our region and Shoreline has the space and reputation to build such a facility... it's a no-brainer for economic development! More federal funds! Those struggling with opioid addiction should have access to starbucks level service for methadone, with easy access by transit and related amenities. A city that prides itself on being progressive should be willing to take a "cavalier" approach to tackling the "modern" problems of our times. <br /><br />#ShorelineSanctuaryCityVision2029Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
