[quote=Anonymous]The Mayor says that 221 temporarily displaced people live within DC. Why can't DC just round all of them up over the course of a week, hire them into various DC govt jobs, house them in 221 subsidized units or hotels and the ones who refuse enroll into this new social contract would immediately be enrolled into in house treatment for whatever ails them. ALL AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE. It would still be less expensive than running the homeless programs we are currently. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dc-mayor-bowser-grilled-claim-city-221-homeless-people-what-you-talking-about [b]"Do you agree that we have a major, major problem in Washington, D.C., as it relates to homelessness?" Timmons asked. "We have 221 people, as of today's count, who are living on the street," Bowser responded.[/b] You could simply pay them an allowance of $50K annually and you would only spend 10 million which is currently less than our homeless budget.[/quote]
