[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the District will have to find a place in the District. I’ve heard that the shelters are so dangerous that the homeless don’t want to go there. They’d rather sleep in the streets. [/quote] Why is that conundrum necessary when you could build shelters with large, locking private rooms 90 minutes bus ride away?[/quote] So, you have never been in a shelter or worked with a homeless population before. Got it. Usually. To solve a problem, you need to become connected to it and educated about it. [/quote] Agree, it takes more than just a locking private room - it takes services, food, utilities et cetera as well. And not only is the real estate much cheaper 90 minutes away, but so are all of the other things. Makes ZERO sense to try and provide all of that in one of the most expensive places in the country.[/quote]
