dan springer, fox news in seattle. >> talking more about this subject in seattle.now by mitchell marks the professor of san francisco state could the city focus on nonprofits to help solve the homeless crisis? >> that's just one piece of the puzzle. good afternoon, i'm happy to be here. it's really going to require a more coordinated policy to attack something as substantial as homelessness. the city of seattle like any municipality needs to have a much more automated approach to dealing th this problem . >> let's talk about this quickly, amazon who is behind the effort to repeal the tax issued, some argue this might send a warning out to cities looking to put bids in to get amazon to open their second headquarters. do you think it sends a warning to the cities? >> absolutely. amazon is entrenched in seattle area. you just don't -- as a corporation even if the city does something horrendous, you just don't pick up a corporation to move, it takes years. for example, here in san francisco, a huge engineering firm founded in san francisco about 100 years ago, has just

so seattle, the city council made the right decision here.y your reaction to washington democrats state senator that said wait a second if you think for half a second that these companies will not pick up and move and leave seattle because of the head tax you're dead wrong. we will lose jobs and create even more homelessness. what's your reaction to a democrat saying that? >> absolutely i think that's one side of the coin but i think as a country we have to decide who is running our government. we have to decide whether big business or whether it's private citizens. liz: you really think big business is running government? >> that's not what i said i said we have to decide whose running the country but what i think is really important here is that whether we put this head tax forth, it will not change homelessness in any state and we have to understand that. it is a means but it's not a pan acea, so again the government has to step up here and not look to solely square this on the shoulders of big corporations and say you're going to be the p
