[quote=Anonymous]Replying to the request for "someone who is more knowledgeable". I was homeless for a while in DC. It's not necessarily the rules that they don't want to follow. It's also the physical and mental abuse they/i recieve(d) at the hands of the people working there. Not to mention the sexual assaults, mismanagement of funds that the employees have charge of sometimes. The homeless are often the target prey of EVERYONE. They don't want to be in those places for those reasons.....and then some. Thankfully I got my act together and I'm back to me, but PLEASE have some compassion for these folks. Most of them have mental illnesses that won't allow them to be productive members of society, so they have no choice. Personally, I'd much rather see the tents than see folks laying out in the grass with no shelter at all. Where are y'all hearts?! Don't look down, and bash. If you feel that strongly, look for a solution that benefits all parties involved. You never know; one day you may be in that position. CHEERS TO ALL![/quote]
