Accusing Jeff, and by extension the whole Watchdog Commmunity, of micromanaging by asking commissioner French inconvenient questions well within his public servant duties; his condescending response is his way of showing, "the peasants", that, "royalty", has its privileges!
Yesterday I really struggled. First, I was eye-slapped by an elected official. Then, I had to go home, where I don't even have a rooftop terrace. I had to bathe my emu with an old-fashioned garden hose because no one has ever bought me an emu-washing station. The afternoon sun came out, but without air conditioning, I just had to sit in my house with the windows open. And then, and I'm sorry if I become emotional writing this, I had to hand-wash a baking pan that wouldn't fit in the dishwasher.
Just reread Wendy Sisk - let's add in an introduction, It's the responsibility of all hard working wage earners of Clallam County to "make it as easy as possible for people to be successful." Probably the alternative was for a CCC to say "Okay no dishwashers, but you rabble rousing taxpayers will report to these apartments to wash and dry dishes, do the occupants laundry, clean the place weekly and so on ad nauseum." The CCC, SCC, and OMC boards have many traits in common. Go figure.
I was taught success came through application of good principles and hard work, a lot of real effort and common sense and some kind of USEFUL service to others, not 'making it easy'!
I guess the beast system has 'made it easy' for these socialists along the way of life.
Now we have a bunch of entitled sociopaths trying to bring everyone down to a 'lower common denominator' while they wallow in relative ease.
Make it NOT EASY for them!
Seeing them Squirming is a good sign!
The worms crawl out of the fruit if it's too warm or too cold.
You wouldn't be alone...you are younger and stronger than most of us and we wouldn't 'throw you to the wolves'.
Just sayin'...many of us have a lot of experience, maybe some wisdom, but not the stamina to take on a role like that. It does require a certain level of 'drive'.
Only you can know...but if we keep turning up the heat more WILL step forward, I'm sure...if not, we WILL have to leave. Root-hog-or-die!😎
2 threads seem to be running concurrently in this site. 1 thread front and center today is Mike French, who through his body language and spoken words has no time for constituents who do critical thinking and ask the hard questions. His personality and demeanor show no redemptive qualities. And so, thread 2 emerges on this site- the need for a candidate who is transparent and responsive. A second to Robert James comment.
It's a process. The most important step is to contact an organization such as the Clallam County GOP. You don't have to tithe to them to take advantage of the materials they have. They have some learning/educational information to help you try to figure that out, and that needs to be done sooner than later because this is a process vs trying to figure it out in the 11th hour. I think that energy is key, and you seem to have that.
On a personal level. Our county benefits when there's competition of ideas. I don't know you but I can say that based on your involvement and interest you should check it out sooner than later.
Unless they use expensive "hardie board" and build a bath tub quality enclosure, its a black mold ..move them into a hotel...raise property taxes again situation.
Literally all the construction folks I personally know signed onto the union during or shortly after covid hit and are currently working that job as we speak.
They may not agree with what they are building, but good money is good money
Everything 'free' housing provides gets broken...sooner than later...we need rehab 'camps', mental hospitals, compassionate confinement for those who need it.
Mainstreaming mental illness, addiction and violence is SICK!🤪
The dishwashers should not be the issue being debated. The issue should be, why are we spending a crap ton of $$ for new housing for a handful of drug addicts in the first place? With no accountability for sobriety?? When is the last time the government offered me, or any other hard-working taxpayer, a housing subsidy? Talk about an insult ...
This low bar to housing should have rules. Is this going to be run through a Section 8 program? (Or are we re-inventing the wheel?) Are tenants going to earn between 30% to 50% of AMI? Will there be rent caps (say 30% of monthly income)? Will there be any demographic criteria? Will there be any references required to assure good tenants? Can bad tenants be denied/evicted if their behavior will impact (negatively) other tenants? How will this project be managed? On-site manager? Remote manager? Who determines eligibility for occupation?
No one has ever answered the question: is this a 40-year project, or a 25-year project, or less? (Where did the money come from? State? Federal? Private capital for tax sheltering?)
I hope it’s not Sec 8 because as a permanently disabled person in Clallam County you can’t even get on the wait-list for Sec 8 (it’s closed) and I was told the wait for an apartment via the Clallam Public Housing department will be 2 to 3 years (they charge you 30% of your income for rent & utilities). Are drug addicts getting access to housing quicker than that?
well, Section 8 has a waiting list.... and people should be able to move off that list and into housing. For people who aren't on ANY list to get housing is unfair. I'd just like to know the criteria for placing people... at least Section 8 has a framework.
This program requires that you're a drain on the criminal justice system and in order to save tax payer dollars there they can stay for free in these apartments. Dog, meet tail.
I live on the corner of 3and Oak, We would really like these questions answered. 2 of our neighbors have already sold their homes to avoid the unknown, even though we all know what that is.
I don’t care about your issues, just mine. I know better than you. I know better than the experts we hired. French’s picture must be next to condensation in the dictionary. The hight of arrogance. 🤮
You owe Jeff Tozzer and the rest of the citizens of Clallam County a public apology for your comments made Tuesday, September 9, 2025 indicating your disinterest in issues that are different than yours. You were hired (elected) to represent all citizens of Clallam County. You took an oath to translate the desires of our residents into action through effective communication and provide comprehensive and exemplary service levels in a prompt and responsive manner. How do you justify your response as being other than arrogant and dismissive of Clallam County residents’ desires. This is a repeated pattern of yours and indicates a bias toward special interests, to which you may be beholding, and in opposition to those who may have different opinions. Maybe its time you take a long look into a mirror, or the abyss, and see if anything is reflected, or looks back.
Thank you, Eric! Perfectly stated! French was rude and condescending to the tax payers and citizens who take time out of their day to be a part of the process. Jeff was polite, and well-tempered. All Jeff wanted was a simple answer, not a diatribe.
A suggestion to being asked tough questions. If you don't know the answer, never guess, it'll put you in a bind at some point because citizens expect honesty. If you don't know the answer to something just say so and learn to be comfortable with that response. You might be internalizing the need to not look uninformed because of your position but trading that for honesty is a losing proposition. I'm sure that you'd give this same advice to anyone you know or mentor, so consider accepting it yourself. You'll come across as being more reasonable.
The decision to install dishwashers will come back to haunt taxpayers. Why, Dishwashers leak. Spray hoses do to. My complex has neither for that reason. My complex stopped replacing kitchen sink spray hoses because they are black mold factories. The ones that are left they inspect every 4 months. I don't use mine anymore.
Public comment is micromanaged. No images allowed except those of the ruling class. Yesterday in Forks at the land acquisition CRC meeting, I got a background screen and used it well. That footage will not be shown. It has yet to appear on the site.
Stoffer and even Cameron are not attending the land acquisition hearings. Stoffer has obstructed every one. His dog...his neighbor...he forgot his laptop..no Quorum..
Anything to hand over a community to a tribe because we are such shitty colonizers.
I see it in my dreams. The globalists are under attack in 10 countries. Macron, won't make it to 2026. Its untenable.
Our Commissioners and other local leaders are using the same game plan as Macron.
They are banking on us not taking to the streets, because that's their thing.
Take a look at Europe, Austrailia Germany....The globalists are being drawn and quartered.
Did you hear Todd’s remarks on my question regarding the “Bauer” retrial?
It was very generic.
I slow blinked him as he minimized the validity of my question.
Wondered what your take is on spending close to 100k (most likely much MORE $)
from tax payers on a retrial for a convicted murderer, now has been appealed and I believe the lawyer representing him did not come from “lawyers R us”.
Now you know why federal courts have limited murder case attorneys.
If you look, only pro's do murder cases on a federal level for reasons just like this.
Hazard County doesn't have pro's they have Boss Hogg, deciding the fates of criminal's cases, with a public defender over at the Bushwacker.
Seattle Attorney's like Stephan Illa or Gil Levy, have expertise for just such an occasion, and they are not worried about getting a slap on the back from Boss Hogg.
You are truth bombing the Commissioners into dust, Jeff! All French had to do was admit his error and move on. Instead, he berated a tax-paying citizen in a public forum. He desperately needed a backdoor exit for his arrogant display, because he has been caught favoring his special interest over fiscal responsibility over and over, again and again. Next time he misbehaves, we'll hold the front door wide open for him. Great job, Jeff! And all you did was ask for a simple answer.
I lived my life in construction and should cost over-runs be held to 10% it will be a miracle. Build it and they will come. If I thought this project for the homeless would resolve homelessness, I might be a supporter. I really want to know, if this project will reduce the presence of mini- street camps consisting of tarps, grocery carts and cardboard. Were I homeless and learned the North Olympic Peninsula provides free housing, I would find my way there. If all the apartments are taken, no worries, it will be a short wait until tax payers build more. I have friends enduring hard times and will let them know of this opportunity and I'm sure they know people who are also in need. So hey, come on down; we got you.
Here's a very interesting model that's clearing hurdles to become a reality in hard to build WA state. Spartan living, and no dishwashers.
"GOOD NEIGHBOR VILLAGE will provide permanent housing and care to Pierce County’s chronically homeless neighbors. Restoring dignity, purpose, and stability within a safe, supportive, and healing community."
Reminiscent of Cabrini Greens in Chicago in the 50's. Ghettoizing is not the answer. Mental institutions and some type of drug addiction facility along with incarceration for crime punishment seems to be. No pride in achievement leads to disrespect of oneself. Free housing does not foster self respect.
I certainly have my doubts for more reasons than I can write here, but it's the attempt to be efficient. I mean the winery and the wetlands would be prime for this, and right at the doorstep of free transportation.
these "feel good" virtue signaling decisions to make things "FREE" hurts the people it's trying to help. Nothing should be free, and by giving free, it's an insult to the integrity of the poor recipient. No one is too poor to do something to contribute.
MK, I don't think the tribe will find that a profitable business, but you are correct about the transportation. Who knows how long that will remain FREE
Isnt controling burn bans and possibly issuing burn permits the job of the
Fire department that we just increased our levy for them? Why hire another person to do this job with salary , benefits and retirement, an added expense?
Borrowing from Glen Morgan, after being elected to office, many find themselves entombed in a cocoon of isolation from the public who elected them and immersed in a world of special interest. Their own issues take president over we the people.
I call for Mike French to resign immediately and not run for public office again. I choose to voice my issues and am not interested in yours. I wonder what, if anything, Mike French sees when long starring into the abyss, or a mirror.
All 3 Amigos need to resign immediately...then the vacuum can be filled with real people...the county will not stop without these psychos...it might even come into balance rather quickly!😎
These luxury apartments will be reduced to rumble on the interior within 2 years after opening, AND, the likes of Commissioner French will be asking for another $2,000,000! We will be told all sorts of lies about management, micromanagement, not caring for the poor, about compassion, about lack of funding, etc!
Naturally, the NGO failed to do a Design to Cost as well as a 10 year reliability and maintenance plan and budget. This NGO is incapable of doing what is required to solve the issues they're chartered to address!
The cold hard truth is that this project is doomed to fail as there's no underlying solution plan for the people that will live there. There is no mandatory education, drug testing, drug/alcohol rehab, mandatory mental counseling, and a set housing duration.
Socialism always fails when you run out of other people's money!
Waste water and the size of pipes, a real $Hit show waiting to unfold. Pipe “overload” from tenants that could give crap what they place down the drain. City of PA will be dealing with the pipe/waste issues within the first five years. Just my prediction (micromanagement thought).
Ken, I'll bet within the first year. Can the pipes handle flushed dog hair, menstrual products, (FREE) condoms, paper towels, medications, cigarette butts, cat litter, cooking grease, food and whatever else when they can't afford garbage bags.
Our little airbnb, which goes for $250 a night in the summer, has a very nice waste basket beside the toilet. It is top of the line, and opens by using a foot pedal, and you don't have to do anything. However, even our travelers flush female hygiene products and those "flushable" wipes that everyone with a septic system knows aren't really flushable. We have to get that pumped at a great expense way more than our house, because we know how to respect a septic system in the house. So, my expectations of drug addicted tenants using those pipes properly are pretty low.
I was at the commissioners meeting a few weeks back when French made the comment on the pipes. All I could see was gaslighting the question. You could tell by his rambling on about the pipes that he was trying to say to all of us sitting there that we aren’t as smart as him. Well Jeff as always you are engaging all of us to see through these commissioners.
I’d rather support 4PA housing instead of this PBH crap. 4PA is doing it right to get a tiny house, retraining, education, jobs, clean living otherwise no house etc. PBH could learn from them,
Back to the Forks hearing yesterday. Ed Bowen exposed a land use problem that may never see the light of day.
His position, which I agree with, is because the tribe land is federal land, federal law does not trump state and local land use laws. Ru row...There goes advantage tribe on land use...
Then there was my "Colonization lens" background screen demonstration.
The globalists got beat bad on Zoom yesterday. Micromanaging that beautiful bean footage was a must.
Cathy Walde was great yesterday. Ron Richards stood up to Fisch...who seemed intent to play Stoffer. Rondeaux gave himself away as one who supports the "compensation mechanism"..talked about how bad "Europeans were. He doesn't want an "us vs them...He wants tribe vs. Europeans...
Richards flexed his I'm chair muscle and asked Fisch and Fleck to be quiet while I was giving comment. Fisch admitted she doesn't want an charter amendment for land acquisition. Richards lamented Fisch wasn't around to understand something before she came and Fisch had a conniption fit..Yeah. I doubt anyone will see that video..
Accusing Jeff, and by extension the whole Watchdog Commmunity, of micromanaging by asking commissioner French inconvenient questions well within his public servant duties; his condescending response is his way of showing, "the peasants", that, "royalty", has its privileges!
Bingo! Keep shining the light of truth on these darklings whose religion is environmentalism and their creed is 'the ends justifies the means'.
We need to do much better by the environment with good leadership, not coercions, lies and betrayal!😎
Good morning CCWD!
Thanks for the recap Jeff.
Yep-
He “dogged” you real good yesterday.
I watched him “eye slap” you a few times.
But when French said “this isn’t my issue, sounds like its your issue”…..
I was like “oh snap, no he didn’t”.
But yes he did!
I have a feeling you will be receiving a public apology.
As little as this might be to some… I believe French just added a “nail to his own coffin” as the saying goes.
I wonder- are we bringing heat??
I do believe we are sir, Jeff.
Don’t let *them break your “momentum”… use your posse.
That’s us. 😀💪🏼
BTW-
DISHWASHERs
BREAK and need replacing.
Is that configured into the budget of freebees?
Yesterday I really struggled. First, I was eye-slapped by an elected official. Then, I had to go home, where I don't even have a rooftop terrace. I had to bathe my emu with an old-fashioned garden hose because no one has ever bought me an emu-washing station. The afternoon sun came out, but without air conditioning, I just had to sit in my house with the windows open. And then, and I'm sorry if I become emotional writing this, I had to hand-wash a baking pan that wouldn't fit in the dishwasher.
The struggle is real.
Dude!
Sounds like you have some real emu issues!
Your posee will come build you and emu washing station for freeee.
Maybe there is funding in the county budget for that!
French may have made another enemy or two yesterday.
Feelin’ the pinch??
good.
- what a “Jerk” in Commissioner clothing.
The 'cupie' cut gives it all away!🤣
But you conquered rats...you can conquer a globalist..
yes!
RATS!
Perfect analogy of RATS Yesterday Jeff.
I see 3 bird feeders.
plus one.
Todd.
💥🎉😂
I agree with Teresa, smart lady. Run for commissioner ?
Pressure is building...in a good way!😊
🤣😆😆😇 Same kind of hardship here...pretty tough...and no fentanyl to ease the pain!
Jeff, I'll bring FREE PIZZA!!!!
Just reread Wendy Sisk - let's add in an introduction, It's the responsibility of all hard working wage earners of Clallam County to "make it as easy as possible for people to be successful." Probably the alternative was for a CCC to say "Okay no dishwashers, but you rabble rousing taxpayers will report to these apartments to wash and dry dishes, do the occupants laundry, clean the place weekly and so on ad nauseum." The CCC, SCC, and OMC boards have many traits in common. Go figure.
I was taught success came through application of good principles and hard work, a lot of real effort and common sense and some kind of USEFUL service to others, not 'making it easy'!
I guess the beast system has 'made it easy' for these socialists along the way of life.
Now we have a bunch of entitled sociopaths trying to bring everyone down to a 'lower common denominator' while they wallow in relative ease.
Make it NOT EASY for them!
Seeing them Squirming is a good sign!
The worms crawl out of the fruit if it's too warm or too cold.
Be cold...and turn up the heat!😎
oh vey … 🤦🏻♀️
i have a hard time believing there wouldn’t be someone more suitable..
would I ? 🤔
You wouldn't be alone...you are younger and stronger than most of us and we wouldn't 'throw you to the wolves'.
Just sayin'...many of us have a lot of experience, maybe some wisdom, but not the stamina to take on a role like that. It does require a certain level of 'drive'.
Only you can know...but if we keep turning up the heat more WILL step forward, I'm sure...if not, we WILL have to leave. Root-hog-or-die!😎

I know people drinking moonshine in Quilcene that are more suitable.

Are we sure that twice a week housekeeping services are not included? 🙄
With "Clallam County" mints on the pillows.
Can I get that at my house paid by the county 🤣🤣
I think they should throw in a "Hog-Wash" for good measure!🤣
Boss Hogg wash..
If you can get 98 signatures and put an election sign in your yard..
John, put out a sign FREE PIZZA, you'll attract all the voters and signatures you need.
They get too hopped up. They put flashlights on their head and give more hand signals than a third base coach..
Wilford Brimley's"lets build em a bubbly bath" in Brubaker..
I wish some construction folks would go by the site and comment. To my untrained eye, it looks so far to be cheap quality
Profit over quality is the new integrity!
I think the contractor is going to come out smelling like a clean dog!🤣
Susie, cheap quality at quality prices
Literally all the construction folks I personally know signed onto the union during or shortly after covid hit and are currently working that job as we speak.

Robert-
Can we add: Volunteering?
We need to clean up our communities-
better human interaction.
For example:
Facilities like “Avamere” & “Sequim Health & Rehab”
We need volunteers for human touch.
Students, Middle-age and Seniors can all volunteer.
NO ONE spends any time with the “dying”.
Inhumane.
Where is the focus on this NEED?
We “Service” each other and share food from our farms.
Thanks for your comment.
🤓
And dishwashers need to be emptied, that may not be a "convenience"
Indivisible, LOWV, will be right there along with Ellen Menshew to take care of it I'm sure.
Push them until they do snap...it's The Way!😊
you could be right..
what did we do?
we broke the substack!! 🤩
The dishwashers should not be the issue being debated. The issue should be, why are we spending a crap ton of $$ for new housing for a handful of drug addicts in the first place? With no accountability for sobriety?? When is the last time the government offered me, or any other hard-working taxpayer, a housing subsidy? Talk about an insult ...

Can bad tenants be denied/evicted if their behavior will impact (negatively) other tenants? How will this project be managed? On-site manager? Remote manager? Who determines eligibility for occupation?
Is the renting agency going to follow RCW 59.18.550 Drug and Alcohol free housing? https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18.550 IF not, why not?
No one has ever answered the question: is this a 40-year project, or a 25-year project, or less? (Where did the money come from? State? Federal? Private capital for tax sheltering?)

You betcha Berta. I'm sorry that the people who truly need housing don't qualify above drug addicts. That wait list is amazingly long.
I live on the corner of 3and Oak, We would really like these questions answered. 2 of our neighbors have already sold their homes to avoid the unknown, even though we all know what that is.
Mimi, the only answers given are not the important questions you ask, but excuses for the cost. VERY VERY good questions!!!!
It's another zero-sum project!🤪
Jeff, thank you for the “early bird” special ; )
If you were to put all the excuses in a dishwasher which would come out sparkling clear?
(1) that dishwashers were “required.”
(2) You have to pay to put pipes in the ground if you want bigger pipes.
(3) “the professionals they hired” had recommended dishwashers
(4) to reduce the wastewater the whole facility uses so they don’t have to pay millions of dollars (dogwashing station?)
(5) “Make it as easy as possible for people to be successful.”
(6) I want us to remove our regulations and restrictions so that it’s easy to build.
(7) that is not my issue, that’s your issue.
(8) COUNTY FACES YET ANOTHER HISTORIC BUDGET SHORTFALL
(9) Beholden to special interests, has completely abdicated the duties outlined in the oath of office, and decisions are clouded by arrogance.
I don’t care about your issues, just mine. I know better than you. I know better than the experts we hired. French’s picture must be next to condensation in the dictionary. The hight of arrogance. 🤮
Eric, all I could think of when reading the article were characters in The Wizard of Oz!
"If I Only Had a Brain"
"If I Only Had a Heart"
"If I Only Had the Nerve"
“If I Only Had a Dog Wash” TOTO
The Concertato
"If We Only Had a Plan"
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
Sweet!🤣
We'll MAKE it Their Problem!😎
Sent to commissioner Mike French just now.
You owe Jeff Tozzer and the rest of the citizens of Clallam County a public apology for your comments made Tuesday, September 9, 2025 indicating your disinterest in issues that are different than yours. You were hired (elected) to represent all citizens of Clallam County. You took an oath to translate the desires of our residents into action through effective communication and provide comprehensive and exemplary service levels in a prompt and responsive manner. How do you justify your response as being other than arrogant and dismissive of Clallam County residents’ desires. This is a repeated pattern of yours and indicates a bias toward special interests, to which you may be beholding, and in opposition to those who may have different opinions. Maybe its time you take a long look into a mirror, or the abyss, and see if anything is reflected, or looks back.
Thank you Eric.
I concur 🙌🏻 an apology.. is due.
An “Action” item for sure!
I felt the punch in Jeff’s soul because of what he (french) said “ it is not my issue, again.. it’s yours”.
No, French… it is your issue.
And all of the cronies you control.
Perhaps there will be an appt available for French to reside in and become the maintenance manager.
Make your bed, sleep in it.
😀
Wow Eric, Thank you! I wish I could have been there in person, it's hard to get the flavor of emotions through words, but you certainly did it.
he certainly did Jennifer!💥 🇺🇸💪🏼🙏🏼
Another 'hollow man'!😵💫
Thank you, Eric! Perfectly stated! French was rude and condescending to the tax payers and citizens who take time out of their day to be a part of the process. Jeff was polite, and well-tempered. All Jeff wanted was a simple answer, not a diatribe.
Commissioner French.
A suggestion to being asked tough questions. If you don't know the answer, never guess, it'll put you in a bind at some point because citizens expect honesty. If you don't know the answer to something just say so and learn to be comfortable with that response. You might be internalizing the need to not look uninformed because of your position but trading that for honesty is a losing proposition. I'm sure that you'd give this same advice to anyone you know or mentor, so consider accepting it yourself. You'll come across as being more reasonable.
He needs to hear this, but probably not from me.
💥👍🏼
You can't reason with 'woke' entitlement !🤪
The decision to install dishwashers will come back to haunt taxpayers. Why, Dishwashers leak. Spray hoses do to. My complex has neither for that reason.

Yes. Todd gave you the cost of doing business spiel...not the Boss Hogg in Hazard County truth...
They will get to know ME.
I have a terrible history of asking questions & getting answers.
If the answer isn’t “JUST” in my opinion… i will keep asking.
Thank you John, I always appreciate your commentary.
Full of wisdom.

Teresa Miller.. That first chick in the first row..
Less energy to get to that damm podium!!
It would appear people will only tolerate so much control. The world is a powderkeg.

Its awesome. Some of the chants you hear are better than the ones at world soccer matches.
Cause and Effect.
'People' are prone to suffer evils as long as the evils are sufferable...I think we're there!🥸
Rollin', rollin', rollin'...keep them truth bombs goin'!😎
You are truth bombing the Commissioners into dust, Jeff! All French had to do was admit his error and move on. Instead, he berated a tax-paying citizen in a public forum. He desperately needed a backdoor exit for his arrogant display, because he has been caught favoring his special interest over fiscal responsibility over and over, again and again. Next time he misbehaves, we'll hold the front door wide open for him. Great job, Jeff! And all you did was ask for a simple answer.
Pathological liars make poor 'leaders'...they aren't supposed to even be leading...they are supposed to be MANAGING under SUPERVISION of 'the public'!
I lived my life in construction and should cost over-runs be held to 10% it will be a miracle. Build it and they will come. If I thought this project for the homeless would resolve homelessness, I might be a supporter. I really want to know, if this project will reduce the presence of mini- street camps consisting of tarps, grocery carts and cardboard. Were I homeless and learned the North Olympic Peninsula provides free housing, I would find my way there. If all the apartments are taken, no worries, it will be a short wait until tax payers build more. I have friends enduring hard times and will let them know of this opportunity and I'm sure they know people who are also in need. So hey, come on down; we got you.
If everyone is homeless the we have achieved 'equity'!😱
Here's a very interesting model that's clearing hurdles to become a reality in hard to build WA state. Spartan living, and no dishwashers.
"GOOD NEIGHBOR VILLAGE will provide permanent housing and care to Pierce County’s chronically homeless neighbors. Restoring dignity, purpose, and stability within a safe, supportive, and healing community."

Reminiscent of Cabrini Greens in Chicago in the 50's. Ghettoizing is not the answer. Mental institutions and some type of drug addiction facility along with incarceration for crime punishment seems to be. No pride in achievement leads to disrespect of oneself. Free housing does not foster self respect.
Eric, You're right. Free housing fosters a mind set of entitlement.
For the most part here it fosters narcan...
22 million from 2023 taxpayers...that is quite a sum; could Clallam County do this? No....
In an 'anything goes' world...we get ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!
Morals and Ethics, etc.😎
I applaud the intent. Just concerned with financing and providing homeless housing being a grain of sand on a large beach.
I'm with you on that, but at least it seems to be trying to be efficient which is what's lacking in most cases.
Borrow more from 'the fed'...no problem...wasn't there an old saying..."neither a borrower nor a lender be"? Wonder what they meant?😎
MK, sounds good, but not realistic. Who knows?
I certainly have my doubts for more reasons than I can write here, but it's the attempt to be efficient. I mean the winery and the wetlands would be prime for this, and right at the doorstep of free transportation.
Just watched Charlotte, NC's City Council saying that their 'free transportation' has to end....
As it should.
MK, then the people paying won't have to endure bus rides from hell!
these "feel good" virtue signaling decisions to make things "FREE" hurts the people it's trying to help. Nothing should be free, and by giving free, it's an insult to the integrity of the poor recipient. No one is too poor to do something to contribute.
MK, I don't think the tribe will find that a profitable business, but you are correct about the transportation. Who knows how long that will remain FREE
Not on 'their' land...are you crazy?🤪🤣😱😂
Isnt controling burn bans and possibly issuing burn permits the job of the
Fire department that we just increased our levy for them? Why hire another person to do this job with salary , benefits and retirement, an added expense?
Great. Another Micromanager. with a big salary. You would think someone in the fire union would take exception to this.
In other words "I'm not listening to anything the public has to say"!
Time for a change in the Commissioners office!
Borrowing from Glen Morgan, after being elected to office, many find themselves entombed in a cocoon of isolation from the public who elected them and immersed in a world of special interest. Their own issues take president over we the people.
I call for Mike French to resign immediately and not run for public office again. I choose to voice my issues and am not interested in yours. I wonder what, if anything, Mike French sees when long starring into the abyss, or a mirror.
All 3 Amigos need to resign immediately...then the vacuum can be filled with real people...the county will not stop without these psychos...it might even come into balance rather quickly!😎
Take everyone's internet away... :)
Yes.
You are (WE) making a difference.
Yes.
You have their attention.
Yes.
PROGRESS.
💥🇺🇸🙌🏻
These luxury apartments will be reduced to rumble on the interior within 2 years after opening, AND, the likes of Commissioner French will be asking for another $2,000,000! We will be told all sorts of lies about management, micromanagement, not caring for the poor, about compassion, about lack of funding, etc!
Naturally, the NGO failed to do a Design to Cost as well as a 10 year reliability and maintenance plan and budget. This NGO is incapable of doing what is required to solve the issues they're chartered to address!
The cold hard truth is that this project is doomed to fail as there's no underlying solution plan for the people that will live there. There is no mandatory education, drug testing, drug/alcohol rehab, mandatory mental counseling, and a set housing duration.
Socialism always fails when you run out of other people's money!
Philip, you are way ahead of the game! All true statements.
YES! and YES!😎
Waste water and the size of pipes, a real $Hit show waiting to unfold. Pipe “overload” from tenants that could give crap what they place down the drain. City of PA will be dealing with the pipe/waste issues within the first five years. Just my prediction (micromanagement thought).
Take a neighborhood that can't handle wastewater and plop a 36-unit housing complex in it, plus a dog-washing station. Makes sense to me.
Ken, I'll bet within the first year. Can the pipes handle flushed dog hair, menstrual products, (FREE) condoms, paper towels, medications, cigarette butts, cat litter, cooking grease, food and whatever else when they can't afford garbage bags.
Our little airbnb, which goes for $250 a night in the summer, has a very nice waste basket beside the toilet. It is top of the line, and opens by using a foot pedal, and you don't have to do anything. However, even our travelers flush female hygiene products and those "flushable" wipes that everyone with a septic system knows aren't really flushable. We have to get that pumped at a great expense way more than our house, because we know how to respect a septic system in the house. So, my expectations of drug addicted tenants using those pipes properly are pretty low.
Maybe you should add a "CCWD Waste water $5 fee" to your guests invoice!
I was at the commissioners meeting a few weeks back when French made the comment on the pipes. All I could see was gaslighting the question. You could tell by his rambling on about the pipes that he was trying to say to all of us sitting there that we aren’t as smart as him. Well Jeff as always you are engaging all of us to see through these commissioners.
I’d rather support 4PA housing instead of this PBH crap. 4PA is doing it right to get a tiny house, retraining, education, jobs, clean living otherwise no house etc. PBH could learn from them,
Back to the Forks hearing yesterday. Ed Bowen exposed a land use problem that may never see the light of day.
His position, which I agree with, is because the tribe land is federal land, federal law does not trump state and local land use laws. Ru row...There goes advantage tribe on land use...
Then there was my "Colonization lens" background screen demonstration.
The globalists got beat bad on Zoom yesterday. Micromanaging that beautiful bean footage was a must.
Cathy Walde was great yesterday. Ron Richards stood up to Fisch...who seemed intent to play Stoffer. Rondeaux gave himself away as one who supports the "compensation mechanism"..talked about how bad "Europeans were. He doesn't want an "us vs them...He wants tribe vs. Europeans...
Richards flexed his I'm chair muscle and asked Fisch and Fleck to be quiet while I was giving comment. Fisch admitted she doesn't want an charter amendment for land acquisition. Richards lamented Fisch wasn't around to understand something before she came and Fisch had a conniption fit..Yeah. I doubt anyone will see that video..
Time to Clean House!😊
