So do we really think there would be no encampments in DC if there were multiple homes that costs under $250,000? $150,000? $75,000?

No, of course not. Homeownership is not possible for many. However, living in unneeded office buildings and sharing a bathroom for very reasonable rent would indeed shrink the encampments.[/quote]

But don’t most homeless, at least DC homeless, say they would prefer the tent over say a shelter? What would be different? And many housing projects for lower income become no-man’s land over time. How do you prevent this?

The only way is to go back to asylums where there are workers taking care of people with severe mental issues rendering them not able to function and take care of themselves or drug rehabs and some communal living.  A lot of these people cannot live in normal units that require residents to take care of their housing, kitchens, clothing, garbage, toilets, etc.  They need nannies.. It's the unfortunate truth.   People who can pay market rates don't want to be around any type of degeneracy and will flee if you put lower income housing for people who cannot maintain their housing or behave in a way not disruptive to people accustomed to having choices of nicer housing.
