The central thesis of the survey at the heart of this story: homeless people on the streets of Spokane aren’t *our* people. They weren’t born here. They don’t deserve care here and we should send them elsewhere.

This is The Discovery Institute’s plan in action.
DI’s Robert Marbut was Trump’s homelessness Czar and this is his vision verbatim.

'In limiting spending on long-term housing to just 30 percent of the $3.5 billion in aid — from about 90 percent this year — the Trump plan would deal a crippling blow to a movement called Housing First."
This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

The survey was designed by President Donald Trump’s former homelessness czar Robert Marbut. One of the most obvious issues with the study is a sample size so small it’s hard to make accurate conclusions about the findings.

Second point: when you see data like this from a new source, ask yourself why. Who collected the survey? Why are they putting this info out? In this case, the data was collected by the Spokane Business Association, partnered with Trump’s homeless czar Robert Marbut and the Discovery Institute:

And, large chunks of content in the Spokane study were copied word-for-word from another Marbut did in King County on behalf of the Discovery Institute, a Seattle thinktank first known for pushing schools to “teach the controversy” of evolution.

Demand for shots was so high that in early 2021, long before they were widely available, Trump's homelessness czar Robert Marbut Jr traveled from shelter to shelter across the country, trying to get a vaccination as they were being rolled out to homeless residents
It's incredibly weird that folks have convinced themselves that the Covid vaccines - which had an ~82^% take up rate - were unpopular.
Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans.
As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA.

Some post-election questions about a next Trump admin, based on my pet interests as a journalist in Seattle:
1) Does Christopher Rufo get a job in the admin?
2) Does Robert Marbut return to the Interagency Council on Homelessness? If so, what is the fate of Housing First?

From Barry Barfield, coordinator the Spokane Homeless Coalition, who volunteered to conduct some of the Marbut studies:
"[Marbut] knows that what he’s asking is not getting a reliable response. I think it is his business model," Barfield said.
