[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one comes to DC because they are homeless. They become homeless because DC is so expensive. MD's numbers have gone down because they don't turn anyone away from shelter in the winter.

Go to Miami Beach, where it's warm all year round, and then report back. That's where people actually migrate to if they're already homeless....[/quote]

This makes no sense. There's more affordable housing a $3 Metro trip away from any point in DC. The idea that MD's numbers are far lower per capita than DC's "because they don't turn anyone away from shelter in the winter" is touchingly naive.[/quote]

Um, affordable housing in this area, really? 
Go to any major southern city where prices are lower and it's warmer, and you will see lots of homeless. I've seen more homeless in Raleigh and Atlanta than I've seen here. I think there is more public transport here that everyone rides.

Heck, we even saw homeless living in big box store parking lots in Kansas this year. First time I had seen that as a KS native. [/quote]
