[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it crazy to accommodate so many in DC, why can't federal government give them incentives to go to areas where cost of living is low and entry level jobs in abundance?[/quote]

They definitely do this but many people understandably don’t want to move away from family/friends, especially to more rural places that have far fewer available resources like child care, mental health care, etc.

The demographics  of my hometown in Western Pennsylvania changed a great deal due to the importation of Section 8 families from DC, Philly, and other cities. It’s big time Trump country though and I sure wouldn’t want to live there as a minority, poor or not.[/quote]

So they want to stick around DC for "friends and family" yet those friends and family obviously haven't done a damn thing for them and aren't helping, given they're homeless.
Doesn't really sound like a viable reason.  Meanwhile there are a lot of homeless in DC who aren't from DC for whom that reasoning doesn't apply.  By "friends and family" they probably mean the people they get their drugs from.[/quote]
