Lol spot on! It's hard to get to know people working on their career. It's one of the reasons why DC dating can be so lonely and noncommittal.

Best bets are with locals or others who aren't here just for work. There's a whole side to DC that isn't in the government-work orbit and they are some of the best people I've met in the country. Conscious of issues and government, but not absorbed in it, and more likely to put other things in life first.

Safe how? More crime, disease and drugs in these encampments. Tent life stable and safer? I don’t see that. I agree with others in that offering drug rehab and job training would go a long way. I don’t know what the rules are in regards to these vouchers but I have to believe it’s better than living in rat infested squalor with their health and life under threat. I’d take the strict rules and voucher no problem. Just offering free housing so they can do as they please will also not solve the problem. It’s takes lots of work, from both sides.

...are you trying to impress the waiter? when you say dad, do you mean daddy and you are his sugar baby and that's what makes this business?
