@HillThe latest iteration of the budget has or at least had a proposal removing the TANF 5 year limitation. Specific reason given was that they feel five years isn't long enough to find a job.

Yes, there may have been a proposal but according to what Gray said @his May 7th, Ward 7 budget meeting, the TANF proposal is still there. That does not satisfy your assertion that no one wants to reform anything.

CCNV is a perfect example of 'keep the homeless visible'. Thats pretty much verbatim what Mitch Snyder said

While that too may be true. I asked an example of where DC has chosen to kept the homeless visible at the expense of everything else because that's the accusation your hurled.

Unfortunately, no I don't have any ready examples of well-run inner city homeless shelters. In a debate like such, it's prudent to have a reference point. Saying that we should do better in comparison to nothing doesn't seem to advance your position.

Sure, Potomac was built as a public housing project. Since I don't know, does everyone live there for free or do a number of them have their rents subsidized? You leave the impression that it was built for the sole purpose of housing the unemployable and provide them with free rent.
