[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an organization that is helping them in terms of toiletries and winter clothing? Are there any children in those encampments and do they have access to a school, school supplies clothing etc.?[/quote]

I have never seen any children.  It is majority men, on lots of drugs.  [/quote]
DC politicians are enabling this ridiculous nonsense. WHY?[/quote]

Because people put up with it.  Look at the poster below saying they drop off supplies so people can live on the street.  [/quote]

I understand how people are driven to be compassionate and wanting to at least temporarily make someone's life more comfortable, but for them to not understand that this will only make the problem worse to the point when our entire streets will be rows of tents and beggars sitting in front of them, making city unpleasant and uninhabitable is stupid.  If people choose to live in tents or under the sky, let them! They just cannot do this in the middle of the city, there is plenty of cheap rural land, why not build compounds for the unhoused there with rehabilitation facilities for the addicts, mental health care, and jobs and trade learning for those able and willing to get on their feet and making a living.  If we spent the money on building free housing where land is cheap we could house more people.  Instead our idiot politicians and do-gooders focus on making homeless campers feel more at home in the midst of the city or agonize over building free housing on very expensive city land.  [/quote]
