+1. It's clear that no one here has ever tried to help a neighbor or DC resident fill out an application for Section 8, SNAP, Medicaid, etc. To suggest housing, food, and health care are easy to get for free in this city is just ignorant. It's not easy. It's an administrative nightmare that befuddles people with graduate degrees.

You're also ignoring the fact that many unhoused people don't trust the system and don't want to go to a shelter. Shelters are scary places. Have you ever been to one? I have. Many are unsafe.

And to suggest an unhoused person "just go apply for a job" is truly absurd. How do you get to a job without reliable transportation or shelter?

Not sure how all the DC red hats came out of the woodwork to chime in on this thread, but oof. You're all as nasty and entitled as I assumed you were.

We can have a volunteer corp with matching brown shirts to carry out those extra duties. I wonder if this has ever been done before.

You little fascists are so sneaky!

No need to do that. But they should enact and enforce narrowly drawn vagrancy laws that pass legal muster.

Or make it easier to receive mental health care right?

I’ll never understand why liberals can never understand simple logic. If you leave crumbs out you get rats and more rats will show up. The logical thing is to remove the food source, duh. Not provide more food them!


You will never stop panhandling until idiots like you stop handing out cash. There’s zero incentive for flower sellers and other panhandlers if no one ever gives them money. People who give the money are the biggest problem and therefore should be prosecuted, or fined at a minimum.

Because humans aren't rats. And your attempt to dehumanize people is step 4 on the path to genocide.

But we behave the same way. Yet another point going over your head.

Same. And if i can’t afford it to say as much. We know the names of most of the homeless people in our block, minus the ones that are legit unsafe/too far gone to communicate with. I also give them fruit, water, and electrolyte tablets in the summer, hand warmers in the winter. Not every day, but when I can. It could easily be you or I in those circumstances.

No it couldn’t “easily.” That is such a myth the left loves to promote.

I have a job, education and a supportive family. I don’t take drugs or much alcohol. I don’t make stupid decisions that affect my health.

You seem to think this is political. It’s not. It’s being human. Your circumstances might not be as impenetrable as you believe. If they are good for you.

Of course it’s political. Leftist policies employed by democrats in major cities over the last 30 years have ruined people’s lives. Wake up. You’re literally stepping over the evidence when you walk down the street.

You know if I wanted to read Breitbart trash I'd go to their website.

And if I wanted to bury my head in the sand like you do, I’d go to the beach. What’s your point? Nothing stated above is untrue.

Please do and don't come back. You add nothing to the discussion and your declaration of truth is worth nothing.
