[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe dumb question but, where do you think people should go instead? I don’t like looking at homeless encampments either but am curious what the solution is. [/quote]jail or work[/quote]

how are they supposed to find employment that will pay for housing in DC?  Honest question. 
i'm and RN and I can't afford to live here.  The teachers at my kid's school can't afford to live here.  
How are the uneducated and addicted supposed to get jobs that support housing here?[/quote]

Not all of DC is expensive.  My blue collar family members were able to buy homes in South Arlington and Silver Spring, in conveniently located and quiet family friendly areas.  My LMC family were able to rent and even buy cheap apartments (coop) in decent parts of the city like residential NWDC and Rosslyn.  IDK what you are talking about, every city has areas in different price ranges from super expensive to very cheap and everything in between.  People who cannot support themselves are simply not going to be able to live in the nicest and most expensive parts of the city, doesn't mean they cannot find other housing options or even have free facilities built for them where land is cheaper.

Newsflash. Rosslyn, Arlington, and Silver Spring are NOT in DC.   Duh  🙄 [/quote]
