[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe dumb question but, where do you think people should go instead? I don’t like looking at homeless encampments either but am curious what the solution is. [/quote]jail or work[/quote]

how are they supposed to find employment that will pay for housing in DC?  Honest question. 
i'm and RN and I can't afford to live here.  The teachers at my kid's school can't afford to live here.  
How are the uneducated and addicted supposed to get jobs that support housing here?[/quote]

Move. [/quote]

Where? And how should they get there?[/quote]

Move to where they have a support system (family, most homeless in DC are not from DC), move to a lower cost of living area, and apparently we will bus for free people who cross the US border illegally all over the country.  I’m sure we can figure out a way to give a free bus ticket to a homeless person.  Come on now.[/quote]

This is what was done in a city I lived in years ago. Bus tickets were purchased for all those had family elsewhere. [/quote]
