Hopefully they enact the recommendation to limit the lot size for any Transitional Housing to the “Two Acre/Thirty People/or less” so these do not negatively affect any neighborhood more than they already will. At this point Burien owes King County nothing as we have already stepped up providing new housing and services.
I believe Burien was given $1 million to help with the homeless situation from the government? I would like to know what has happened to that money. The homeless situation in Burien is disgraceful. It is very sad for the homeless, it is really bad for the Businesses and I will not go around the library area The council needs to sort this out
