I assume rowdy beachgoers means gangs right? Seems like the right option.

Right now "gun violence" is leading with 45% of 1059 votes.

What a rigged poll. “Rowdy beach goers” is now leading, at 47 %, with “Gun violence” at 38%. Hit it.

"Gun violence" is the only one on the list that's actually a symptom of a problem. I cannot ever remember a time a   gun was roaming around hurting innocent people.

It's like blaming all you can eat buffets for creating fat people.

I must be missing something.  What's bad about people being concerned over gun violence?  I don't support gun violence.

What’s wrong with gun violence?
If someone threatens me with a knife, there will be gun violence.
Not all gun violence is bad.

Flawed poll is flawed.

Crowds should be #1, because with crowds come undesirables.

Paid beach access would probably fix it.

Good point, Mainsail. I have to admit, I get triggered by the term, “gun violence”. I guess it’s due to decades of exposure to liberals and liberal/gun control causes who use the term “gun violence” to gin up support for passing more anti-gun legislation.

The problem is violence, the weapons being knives, guns, skateboards, etc. To give examples, someone was killed by being hit in the head with a skateboard in the U. District in Seattle maybe 10 years ago; and a man was stabbed to death in the Capitol Hill light rail station in Seattle a week or two ago. Perhaps I’m seeing the term as a “dog whistle”, the term used by anti-Trump people when they accuse Trump of something, to rally anti-gun liberals to push for more gun control.

Youth or bum violence is a more appropriate term.

They need an option for "Hood Rats", the real problem at Alki in the summer.
