Owen Makel, 65, who has been homeless for nearly 14 years and has lived at the camp for four months, sits by his tent between the Watergate and Whitehurst Freeway in Washington D.C., November 16, 2015. “You have to understand this: we people as homeless have lives, just like you all have lives. We don't want to be out on the street but we don't have an alternative. People have no other place to go”, Makel said. (Photo by Shannon Stapleton/Reuters)
