Here's hoping enough liberal Seattle voters get tired of the mess they've made and vote to do something about it this time.

Well, I'm curious. Let's game that out. Suppose for a moment that you're the Grand Poohbah of Seattle - and you have the power in the scenario you describe to personally intervene and order the actions of the police or fire department or any other city employees. What, exactly, would you do?

Let's assume for the moment that this person is homeless, mentally ill, and has substance abuse problems. What's your solution? Do you order the police to arrest him? If so, what do you think actually happens if he's arrested?** Do you increase the taxes of Seattleites to provide him with social services, mental health care, and a place to live? If you don't, what's going to be different in a few days?

So, what's your call on this specific person? How do you, as Temporary Boss of Seattle, deal with him?
