Without turning this into the 14th "DC homeless fentanyl Tenley sucks!" thread of the week ...

... does anyone know why Boston seemingly alone among large cities doesn't have the Night of the Living Dead, meth zombie encampments ? I mean, even TEXAS / Gov. Abbott big cities now have this problem (despite their willingness to ship ppl out on a Greyhound and lock up everyone for everything)

Maybe too cold in the winter for them to stay around?

This is my educated guess. Plus, Boston is a smallish city.

CA has homeless issues because of politics and also because of the weather.

It’s too cold in the winter.

My relatives told me Boston forced all the poor people to move out in the 90s

This is probably true, but basically Massachusetts is the best state on almost any measure of social well-being. Across the board in so many categories.

I mean it pretty much is. Ther schools can go toe to toe with the best schools in Scandinavia and Asia.

It's not hard to find cities in the US that are nicer than DC. Pretty much every major city qualifies. Anyone who has done significant travel around the US knows this.

It's not because of Democrats that DC is bad; remember that DC was fine under Tony Williams. Bowser is a big part of the problem.

The big homeless area in Boston is outside the main tourist area:

There will be no change in DC, because such changes will disproportionately affect POCs and that does not meet equity goals.

I glad that Jeff recently decreed that shit is still a permissible word on DCUM because that’s exactly what OP is full of.

As summarized in the attached article, the most recent HUD assessment shows that Boston has the 14th highest number of homeless in the US, tbat DC is 15th, and that Boston has both a higher percentage of homeless residents than DC and that Boston is reducing its homeless population at a lower rate than DC.

I’ll never understand why DCUM users are on average smart and well education yet have an aversion to actually googling and gathering facts to respond to obvious bullshit.

Former Boston resident (but way back in the 90s), I think it's this. You can tour around Back Bay, Public Gardens, Faneuil Hall, even the Financial District, etc. and not run across the same number of homeless as you would touring around downtown DC. It's broken up now, but the homeless encampment around McPherson Square was particularly egregious (and scary, sad to say). So maybe it's not that Boston has fewer overall, but they're more out of sight from tourists.

See previous post. You too are full of shit. Boston has a worse homeless problem than DC - fact and not opinion.
