鈥淢aybe you鈥檝e got some room down in the basement. Let two homeless people live there. And why not encourage other city council members to take in homeless people?鈥 Curley said. 鈥淔or probably $25,000 a year, you could feed the guy. You could clothe him. And he could live in your basement. And that would really show the rest of America, and Seattle specifically, that you care desperately. Because you actually opened your home to a homeless person. Do that.鈥
鈥淓ven if he did do that, it wouldn鈥檛 solve the homelessness problem,鈥 Tom Tangney retorted.
鈥淔or one person, it would,鈥 Curley said.
