[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So just to get some facts out there...
Arlington had a count of 232 homeless people in 2015, 
174 in 2016, 
and 232 again in 2017 (for the year-to-year rise of 33.33%).

BUT, I live in Courthouse and the number of daily incidents that I see ([b]aggressive panhandling, obvious mental difficulties/impairments, public intoxication, entering/loitering on private property,[/b] etc.) is definitely on the rise.  Build it and they will come.[/quote]

I feel for the poster that described living in a shelter with her mom temporarily.  I only have a problem that the County is doing zero to protect its residents of late from the break-ins, the public nuisances (screaming profanities at kids--and lunging at parents), theft, etc.  It has been a very visible increase and the ones that we are seeing fall into the addict/mental health (not just the lack of Affordable housing which is the Boards one and only focus).  They are also building a brand new addiction treatment center in Courthouse, pp.[/quote]
