Direct correlation: Homelessness v housing costs

Today no meals were distributed. There was a 42nd Legislative District Town Hall, where we could hear from Senator Jamie Pedersen; Speaker of the House "Frank Chopp; and freshman Rep. Nicole Macri. The program began at 1 p.m. at Seattle First Baptist Church, 1111 Harvard Avenue.

Ms. Macri shared some noteworthy observation about a direct correlation between the cost of housing and homelessness: When the stock market collapsed, homeless figures went down along with the cost of housing. When the market bounced back and home prices rose, so did homelessness.
