[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NIMBYism is a universal problem. Out in the red states, they give homeless people a one way bus ticket to the nearest big city.[/quote] Because they literally don't have any sort of infrastructure to assist the homeless. We can't bus our way out of the problem in DC. And for the record: homeless people aren't flocking to DC from the burbs. In fact, Montgomery and Fairfax counties provide excellent resources to homeless families. DC's failing schools, costly housing, and decades of segregated housing and poverty created the homeless family crisis. The families seeking housing through the shelter are dc residents...just like you. [/quote]
