Who knew? — The National Coalition for the Homeless put together a ranking of the twenty worst places to be homeless and Seattle’s not even on the list [#].

Maybe we avoided the infamy because the anti-sidewalk sitting laws aren’t just for the homeless, theyre’ also applied to Star Wars superfans [p-i]
