Some neighborhoods have complained about an increase in the homeless population, including those that live in vehicles.

Bill Radke talks with Eric Stoll, co-president of the Ballard Chamber of Commerce, about why he thinks there's a link between an increase in homelessness and crime in Ballard. Radke also talks with Seattle City Councilmember Mike O'Brien, who represents the Ballard neighborhood.
