“Having experienced traumatic events at city shelters, many unhoused people cannot stomach the idea of living in a group setting. Others no longer trust the D.C. government to provide safe shelter sites. And some can’t fathom life away from those who helped them survive in the encampment.”

I guess we should just legalize encampments indefinitely!

Their choice. I know one gentleman who took up the housing offer and it’s incredible how much his life has changed in such a short time.

Shocking that,

  1. most of them don't have homes still lol, and

  2. that no one on this subreddit cares anymore now that they're gone from their favorite square (which they still can't use because it's now fenced off).

Fucking hell

This is the first time I have ever heard anybody speak down on NPR. Maybe I am living in a bubble…
