[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two separate issues--

-normalizing homeless encampments in shared city spaces

-the need for clean, safe public restrooms for everyone

They may overlap, but the former should be challenged while the second can be supported

A public restroom in DC will be usable for exactly one day before it is severely vandalized and made unusable by people doing their business on the floor in sinks and elsewhere not meant for urination or defecation or a homeless person moves in.  Don’t believe me, see Union Staion.[/quote]

True. Which is why DC should

a) address (appropriately move along) homeless folks who prefer to live in restrooms than shelters or hospitals

b) buy advanced self-cleaning toilets and pay for the cleaning, maintenance upkeep

We have a budget surplus and can address both.

Or, we can just accept being a s*-hole. Pardon the pun.[/quote]

Don't some states give homeless people bus tickets and send them out west where the clinate is nicer. Why not do that?[/quote]
