Reply to comment by glopmod in Two-thirds of McPherson Square homeless remain on street, D.C. says by SnortingCoffee

What. Half of those offered housing denied it. What is so hard to understand here?

As someone that works with this population, my position is the same.

When it comes to these camps, the only way to get these people off their ass is to force them to take action. A camp shouldn’t be around indefinitely because people won’t take it seriously. Same with the eviction moratorium and people just saying fuck it when it comes to paying their rent. And if you don’t have experience in the matter, I’m not trying to hear it.

Half of those there were not reached. That means a quarter denied it. What is so hard to understand here?

Lmao. I’m going to assume you are a middle school aged person or are something else. They weren’t reached because they didn’t want to be reached. Many declined the survey. How the fuck you live in the park but somehow miss canvassing for two weeks.

Layman’s (your) terms.

If, over the course of two weeks, someone is taking a an assessment of the clothes washing ability of the people who live in your home, and even though the three other occupants actually wash clothes, yet you refuse to wash clothes, can they give you a score? Or were you simply not reached?

Keep the insults to yourself. I apologize for suggesting you might not have all the answers. Obviously whatever you have decided is correct is.
