Agree.  Homelessness is visibly worse/more prevalent.  Just because an ultra-liberal mayor in the office, does not make it right to lie about the situation.  Reminds me of Mystrom, who's solution to every problem in Anchorage was to plant more flowers and rename Parks and Rec to Parks and Beautification.  PFD's have been cut, money to the bush has been cut, the economy has the brakes on, less jobs ... this winter will see a new record of homeless people looking for shelter or dying from hypothermia.
