Kincaid to Chinatown, Japantown, Little Saigon: We Hear You

  Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon Deserve Better The historic neighborhoods of Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon are not part of Washington’s 1st Congressional District. They  belong to District 7, represented by Pramila Jayapal since 2017. Many of the families and business owners there are immigrants or children of immigrants who followed the legal immigration process and built their lives through hard work and resilience. Yet these communities have been forced to bear the brunt of Seattle’s ongoing drug, crime, and homelessness crisis. Despite years of pleas, the mayor and city council have offered little meaningful action. With the new administration in Seattle, many fear conditions will only continue to worsen. Representative Jayapal has been more focused on pushing national ideological agendas. Including her support for the Housing Not Handcuffs Act, which would make it even harder for cities to address chronic street disorder than on help...

Kincaid’s Strategy to End Homelessness

For decades, we’ve seen government agencies from HUD to city and county programs. Spend billions of dollars to fight homelessness. But despite the money and the promises, the problem keeps getting worse. Why? Because most of our current programs are built on theories that don’t work in reality. In theory, if you have a thousand homeless people, you build a thousand housing units, problem solved. In reality it doesn’t work that way. Some people are struggling with addiction. Others have untreated mental illness. And others simply can’t afford rent in an overpriced market. You cannot put all three groups under one roof and expect stability or safety. Look at programs like Plymouth Housing. Their hearts may be in the right place, but the results tell the truth. Police and fire are called there constantly. For overdoses, assaults, and mental health crises. It’s not compassion to ignore that. It’s negligence. We need a new approach. One that separates by cause, not by convenience. For those...

Statement from Kincaid: To the people of Bellevue’s Eastgate neighborhood regarding the homeless shelters

Before we are able to solve the problem. It is important to know how the problem was created . Did the people of Bellevue  want , ask for or vote for a homeless shelters in Eastgate ? So how did this happen. A Cabal , the ruling class. A group of people that believe  they are superior to everyone else. King County , Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond.  Got together and made an agreement to do this. Important to know that this agreement was not  legally binding . Bellevue was not legally required to do this.  They made agreement for  Bellevue ,Kirkland and Redmond to have homeless facilities that would be run by Plymouth Housing. It did not matter what the people said. The facilities were going to be built. The public hearings , the Bellevue City Council vote. It was all just for show. They was very strong opposition to the Eastgate location.  To the people of the Eastgate community and the rest of Bellevue. I see you, and I hear your concerns. If elected ...
