西雅图市长凯蒂·威尔逊（Katie Wilson）是一位民主社会主义者，在努力解决公共安全问题和无家可归问题时，她在努力在该市实施她的议程时遇到了重大障碍。
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a democratic socialist, has run into major roadblocks while trying to enact her agenda in the city as she grapples with public safety concerns and homelessness.
据《华尔街日报》报道，尽管一些顾问对这一目标的可行性表示担忧，但威尔逊仍致力于在任期内每年增加1，000个无家可归者收容所。然而，据《华尔街日报》报道，她的政府目前的计划要求到2027年底增加近1，000个避难所床位。
Wilson campaigned on adding 1,000 homeless shelter units in each year of her term, despite concerns from some advisors about the feasibility of the goal, according to The Wall Street Journal. However, her administration's current plan calls for adding nearly 1,000 shelter beds by the end of 2027, the Journal reported.
市长九月份告诉《西雅图时报》，她最初的目标是让人们谈论这场危机。
The mayor told The Seattle Times in September that her original goal was a way to get people talking about the crisis.
该市商界为无家可归者问题捐赠了300万美元。西雅图大都会商会主席兼首席执行官乔·阮（Joe Nguyen）表示，由于市政厅遇到官僚障碍，这笔钱没有使用。“欢迎加入政府，”他在应对挑战时告诉《华尔街日报》。
The city's business community donated $3 million toward the homelessness effort. Joe Nguyen, president and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, said the money wasn't used as City Hall ran into bureaucratic roadblocks. "Welcome to government," he told the Journal in response to the challenges.
据《华尔街日报》报道，西雅图市长表示，新无家可归者收容所不需要清醒威尔逊在9月份公布的拟议预算令她的支持者感到惊讶，其中不包括新税收和为警察提供更多资金。
SEATTLE MAYOR SAYS SOBRIETY WON'T BE REQUIRED AT NEW HOMELESS SHELTER Wilson surprised her supporters with a proposed budget released in September that included no new taxes and more funding for police, the Journal reported.
据KOMO新闻报道，威尔逊在9月份的一次演讲中表示：“我做出了一个艰难的决定，即在没有重大新收入的情况下提交预算。”“目前，我们没有很好的选择来筹集更渐进的收入，而这些收入也不会带来很大的风险。我们的经济，尤其是我们的市中心很脆弱。在这种情况下，通过ExpressStart增加额外收入并不是正确的举措。“7月，西雅图之口美食节发生枪击事件，造成三人死亡，其中包括一名嫌疑人，并导致枪击事件发生时不在城里的警察局长辞职，威尔逊和西雅图警察局面临审查。
"I have made the difficult decision to transmit a budget without major new revenue," Wilson said in a speech in September, according to KOMO News. "Right now, we don't have good options to raise more progressive revenue that don't also come with great risks. Our economy and especially our downtown are fragile. In that context, raising additional revenue through JumpStart is not the right move." Wilson and the Seattle Police Department faced scrutiny after a shooting at the Bite of Seattle food festival in July left three people dead, including one suspect, and led to the resignation of the police chief, who was out of town at the time of the shooting.
《华尔街日报》报道称，“市长办公室和西雅图警方之间的通讯中断导致公众对枪击事件一无所知五个小时，官方紧急警报系统也未使用。“市长办公室没有立即回复福克斯新闻数字公司的置评请求。
The Journal reported, "A communication breakdown between the mayor’s office and Seattle police kept the public in the dark about the shooting for five hours, and the official emergency alert system went unused." The mayor's office did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
社会主义能拯救西雅图吗？城市倡导努力寻找解决方案，因为无家可归、吸毒成瘾者泛滥街头心理治疗师、《治疗国家》一书的作者乔纳森·阿尔珀特告诉福克斯新闻数字台，“这是社会主义吸引力与治理现实发生冲突的一个很好的例子。"
WILL SOCIALISM SAVE SEATTLE? CITY ADVOCATES STRUGGLE TO FIND SOLUTIONS AS HOMELESS, DRUG ADDICTS FLOOD STREETS Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of "Therapy Nation," told Fox News Digital, "This is a good example of socialism's appeal colliding with the realities of governing."
“社会主义之所以诱人，是因为承诺听起来不错：更多的住房、更多的服务、更大的公平、更少的不平等，”他说。“根据这些想法进行竞选很容易。当你真正负责预算、公共安全和城市是否运转时，事情就会变得更加困难。"
"Socialism is seductive because the promises sound good: more housing, more services, greater fairness, less inequality," he said. "It’s easy to campaign on those ideas. It gets much harder when you’re actually responsible for a budget, public safety and whether the city is functioning."
“结果：威尔逊现在正在做一些与她竞选时所主张的政治不太相符的事情：更多的警察、更多的摄像头、削减开支和更少的重大承诺，”阿尔珀特继续说道。“犯罪有一种迫使政客很快变得务实的方式。"
"The result: Wilson is now doing some things that don’t fit so comfortably with the politics she campaigned on: more police, more cameras, spending cuts and fewer big promises," Alpert continued. "Crime has a way of forcing politicians to become practical pretty quickly."
“我认为这并不能证明每一个社会主义思想都注定会失败，”他补充道。“但它确实表明了向人们承诺政府应该做什么和弄清楚政府实际上可以做什么之间的差距。这是更多社会主义者应该意识到的严酷现实检验：当你不必治理时，意识形态就会容易得多。"
"I don’t think this proves that every socialist idea is doomed," he added. "But it does show the gap between promising people what government should do and figuring out what government can actually do. That’s the harsh reality check that more socialists should realize: Ideology is much easier when you don’t have to govern."
社会主义者市长对猛烈零售犯罪的新回应愤怒：“子弹伤上的捆绑”威尔逊在5月份在社交媒体上遭到强烈反对，因为视频中看到一名77岁的男子在一起犯罪事件中被两人殴打，闭路电视摄像机捕捉到了这一事件，威尔逊过去曾谴责这种工具让社区感到不安全。
SOCIALIST MAYOR’S NEW ANSWER TO RAMPANT RETAIL CRIME IGNITES FURY: ‘BANDAGE ON A BULLET WOUND’ Wilson faced backlash on social media in May after a 77-year-old man was seen on video being beaten by two individuals in a crime that was captured by closed-circuit television cameras, a tool that Wilson has denounced in the past as something that makes the community feel unsafe.
她还反对在竞选期间扩大西雅图的监控摄像头网络，并表示这将使这座城市“更容易”受到唐纳德·特朗普总统“对移民、跨性别者和整个大城市的攻击”的影响。“据《华尔街日报》报道，威尔逊在一月份试图停止耗资300万美元增加更多摄像头的计划。据媒体报道，两名就读雷尼尔海滩高中的青少年在雷尼尔海滩的一个公交车站被枪杀后，市长开始扩大该项目。
She also opposed the expansion of Seattle's network of surveillance cameras while on the campaign trail and said it would make the city "more vulnerable" to President Donald Trump's "attacks on immigrants, trans people and big cities in general." Wilson sought to halt a $3 million effort to add more cameras in January, according to the Journal. After two teenagers who attended Rainier Beach High School were shot and killed at a bus stop in Rainer Beach, the mayor moved toward expanding the project, the outlet reported.
市议会议员兼公共安全委员会主席鲍勃·凯特尔（Bob Kettle）告诉《华尔街日报》：“当你面对坐在座位上做工作的现实时，你必须面对这些现实。”为什么威尔逊没有像社会主义者一样执政。
"When you’re faced with the realities of sitting in the seat and doing the job, you have to deal with those realities," Bob Kettle, a city council member and chair of the public safety committee, told the Journal on why Wilson wasn't governing like a socialist.
西雅图市长的采访突然中断，工作人员阻止了有关枪支暴力、监视的问题《华尔街日报》还报道称，西雅图市中心协会主席兼首席执行官、市长顾问乔恩·斯科尔斯（Jon Scholes）与一群商界领袖一起前往旧金山，会见旧金山市长丹尼尔·卢里（Daniel Lurie）政府成员。
SEATTLE MAYOR'S INTERVIEW CUT SHORT AS STAFF BLOCKS QUESTIONS ON GUN VIOLENCE, SURVEILLANCE The Journal also reported that Jon Scholes, president and CEO of the Downtown Seattle Association and an advisor to the mayor, joined a group of business leaders on a trip to San Francisco to meet with members of San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie's administration.
斯科尔斯谈到这次旅行时说：“他们显然有认真的人在做认真的工作。”“我的意思是，这不仅仅是象征意义和表演。这是真正的治理和管理。
"They clearly have serious people doing serious work," Scholes said of the trip. "I mean, it’s not just symbolism and performance. It’s real governance and management.
