[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a homelessness crisis in our nation, but nobody wants to do anything about it. Instead, everywhere you look a new luxury condo/apartment complex is being built. Our country is pathetic.[/quote]

There are overwhelming amounts of money spent on the homeless population. Money isn’t the issue. [/quote]

+1. In fact, homeless people from all over the country are streaming to DC because of our generous handouts and permissive stance on open-air drug use and public defecation. It's basically a free for all![/quote]

Would you please cite your source for this statement? I googled it and am coming up blank. [/quote]

Ultimately I think DC needs to fix its shelter situation and have safe, managed, hygienic, supervised facilities where the homeless can stay, (and not be kicked out during the day) rather than being allowed to sleep on the streets.  Don't even give them the option to camp.  And, give them psychiatric screening, drug rehab and treatment, etc, and put any who are capable of working on a path to employment and self-sufficiency.  But no camping on the streets, under bridges, etc.  If they don't like it, they can "stream" themselves elsewhere.[/quote]
