Tax dollars used to improve public safety, put 1/3 of that group in better and more sustainable conditions, allow access to public resources and pay district residents for their labor? Sounds like a four way success to me

DC makes it almost impossible to be involuntarily homeless (or at least to go without a roof over your head at little or no cost). Maybe this is callous of me but I don't have much tolerance for those who turn that down, pollute the city with drugs and needles, turn sidewalks into no-go zones and relieve themselves in public parks.
