[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like San Francisco about 20 years ago.  I remember being surprised as a tourist to being far outnumbered in certain areas of San Francisco -- easily 10 or more homeless in some places.

If DC residents don't do something about this, homeless will flock to DC.[/quote]

+100  Cities like SF and DC are magnets for homelessness. In fact, I think they create MORE homelessness by making it easy to be homeless. You don't see half naked, shitting in the street, smelly, drug-adled people taking over in non-ultra liberal cities.  The crazy lefties will only offer more and more incentives to be homeless though.  It's a death spiral situation.

Exactly. There is a reason you don't see this in non liberal Southern cities. And give me a break people have mental illness everywhere, it doesn't just exist in NYC, DC, SF. Yet if you drop your pants to go to the bathroom on the sidewalk in Charleston, I'm pretty sure you're arrested and rot in jail for a while since you don't have anyone to bail you out; then you do it a bunch more times and are arrested again, then you finally figure it out and stop doing that/start living out of the way somewhere OR your homeless buddies tell you how easy it is in DC so you find a way to cobble together bus fare to get up to DC.[/quote]
