Quality of Life in Spokane Dips
A new survey reveals growing concerns about safety and homelessness in Spokane, with many residents considering leaving the city due to waning public trust in local government.
According to a survey from Greater Spokane Incorporated, voters feel less safe downtown than they did last April. The survey, which interviewed 600 people last month, found that homelessness and public safety remain top concerns, along with politics, housing, and taxes.
- Homelessness and public safety are the primary concerns of residents.
- Politics, housing, and taxes are also significant concerns.
The countywide quality-of-life score has fallen from 3.6 out of 10 to 3.5 last spring, and now to 3.3 this fall. Several Spokane City Council candidates have taken strong stances on homelessness, with some vowing to reinstate a voter-approved camping ban and others supporting progressive policies.
