[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me why I as a DC taxpayer should be paying to house a homeless guy from North Carolina?  Isn't he North Carolina's problem?  Shouldn't NC be paying for him?  I think they should.

Can someone explain to me why I should put a guy with raging untreated mental illness into an apartment when he destroyed the last place he lived?   Seems like poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars.  I'd do it if he's getting treatment and has solid case management and oversight in place, but otherwise?  Nah.

Can someone explain to me why I should put a guy with a raging untreated drug addiction into an apartment when he's been known to sell the appliances, fixtures, even rip the copper wiring out to sell for drug money?  I'd do it if he's getting treatment and has solid case management in place, but otherwise?  Nah.

I'm more than willing to help those in need but I feel zero obligation whatsoever to take care of those who take advantage.

You should ask these questions of your elected leaders. They are the ones putting policy into place that uses your tax dollars for these things.[/quote]
