[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't want them in the "nice/residential part of DC" where do you expect them to live? Grow up. they are not living like this to be funny or because they want to. Also raise taxes for the rich to get those people some damn homes![/quote]

I can honestly say this isn't true.  I know a woman who has slept at a bus stop with all her bags for 30 years.  She has family and friends who have offered to let her stay with them, but she said the march on washington and black lives matter entitles her to a free home and an income above $70,000, which according to her, is a minimum fair and equitable salary.  Keep in mind she has zero skills, doesn't bathe, wash her hands or flush the toilet.  She couldn't tell me how she would pay the annual taxes and upkeep.  She said in all these decades, she has never been able to find a vacancy in any of the shelters.  She said the apartment vouchers are no good because she wouldn't  own it and the apartments aren't quality.  She won't apply for social security or SNAP because she says it isn't enough and she doesn't qualify.  Besides, she doesn't believe she should have to go through the trouble of applying, recertification, etc.  None of this would be in her best interest or provide generational wealth.  She insists this past week she has spoken to "professionals"  and an "impressive" DC government representative that funding is coming in from taxpayers and corporations to give her home ownership and the downtown business are going to find a solution so that every black person has a free home in DC.

She is going to hold her ground on the sidewalk, play victim, and charm her way into a free home while laughing all the way to the bank.
