Now that I am working in downtown Seattle again, I have become way more aware of how the city is being overrun by the lawless homeless element.

I am sure some new zoning regulations will fix that.   =)

My brother in law works in an area of San Diego kind of like that. His employer has provided steel toed boots for all of the employees after a couple people stepped on discarded needles. They have a remote lot for parking that is regularly used as a crapper by the locals so he tries to get to work early enough to park in the lot at the facility. There are lots of cities with these issues.

We had a similar issue with RVs here. The city ended up deciding to require a permit to park any RV on the street, with permits being limited to a single day and only available to people who actually own the place the RV is parked in front of.
