As most people know, there’s a heavy police and national guard presence in DC. However, as far as I know, they are just booting people out of DC, not making them disappear.

It stands to reason when the police and national guard presence goes back to its old level that many of the people will just come back, since we haven’t resolved any of the underlying problems that led to all the crime and homelessness.

Keeping all those people posted up costs a lot of money. I would say unless the plan is to have the military permanently occupy every major US city, that we are wasting our time.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of crime or homelessness, but this just seems like a temporary way to move the problem around at great expense, not to solve it.

Am I missing something here?
