The Federalist brings up the devastating situation in Seattle, among a number of cities in the US run by leftists that's now falling apart due to the soft approach to crime that got considerably worse this year, and is now the subject of a documentary:

“Seattle no longer feels the need to stop anyone from doing anything for any reason, at any time. The most stunning city in America is dying, all right.”

So begins “The Fight for the Soul of Seattle,” a 90-minute documentary produced by KOMO News, which for years has reported on Seattle’s pervasive drug problems and associated perils. The local news station, which premiered the feature last weekend, produced a similarly themed broadcast entitled “Seattle is Dying” last year that received more than 10 million views and several regional film awards.

Over the last 10 years, Seattle has experienced a dramatic increase in crime tied to rampant addiction and homelessness. For example, the Seattle Police Department reported a 50 percent increase in calls related to life-threatening emergencies, assault, and burglary, as well as an 80 percent increase in calls for domestic violence. In 2020 alone, the murder rate was double the average of the past decade.

Everything's been made worse by how leftists in such cities went out of their way to call for defunding police and regarding only authorities as the problem, not the criminals who're tearing the fabric of life apart. Now, Seattle's on the verge of becoming a significant competitor with New York for a city on the verge of collapse caused by leftists who're now exploiting the Covid19 pandemic to push policies that're doing more harm than good.
