Arts Booting the Balancer
So I wrote this story about a street artist in Fremont (and the city Department of Transportation and Seattle Met magazine and Fremont business owners). Some people think he’s a wonderful, romantic hobo sculptor. Some people think he’s a pain in the ass. Some people think he’s just a dude, no more, no less.
Those people are debating here (under “Fremont Street Artist given boot”).
I’m curious what you all think.
first question is "do you live in Fremont"
second question is "do you work in Fremont"
if you answer No to one and two, then realize you probably have an idealized vision of what it's like having the Mayor and City Council push the homeless out of downtown and Pioneer Square into Fremont.
and stop giving them money - give it to the Fremont Public Association or one of the other foodbanks or homeless shelters instead - it ends up in 40 ouncers we have to walk over and pee on the sidewalks.
