[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This account has a lot of information re: the realities of the situation. CA is ahead of DC in trying some approaches like safe sleep and safe spaces to use. Some have been disastrous, in CA and elsewhere. CA has also made it easier to involuntarily commit. It would be nice if DC could learn from approaches tried elsewhere that have upped the human toll/cost.

It is a feature of both addiction and mental illness to lack insight. To frame that as a justice cause while profiting financially is cruel. Billions are being spent yet the problems grow. Follow the $ and ask who benefits from the status quo? [b]Europe does not allow large open air drug scenes to take over public spaces. The cost to both individuals and the public at large is seen as too high.[/b]

Exactly this.

DC has a massive homeless-industrial complex that rakes in $$$$$ every year from the city. Countless "charities" that get lavish government contracts for feel-good measures like handing out BP&J sandwiches at astronomically high per-unit prices to the city.[/quote]

If you build it, they will come.  The more money that is spent on homelessness, the more homeless there will be.  Follow the money. [/quote]
