[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The encampments are a public health disaster waiting to happen. [/quote]

How so? [/quote]

Fecal matter. TB.[/quote]

And safety. How long until someone is raped or stabbed? Unfortunately, it happens. We need a solution that is compassionate for the homeless and safe for everyone else.[/quote]

It's pretty clear that the mayor does not care if people in DC get raped or stabbed, by a homeless person or anyone else.[/quote]

True, so many of the rapes and stabbings in DC this past year have been BY homeless people. It's horrific, points to severe mental illness combined with homicidal/or sexually sadistic impulse. I am 100% in favor of compulsory mental health treatment for the chronic homeless who demonstrate no ability for self care, as well as housing plus work program (including starting with cleaning streets etc. With a gradient of training) to bring the non mentally ill to self sufficiency. I have zero issue with asking all homeless to earn their keep or demonstrate they are on a path to earn their keep (schooling, job training etc). That is not cruel, it is kind.[/quote]
