The street beggars are out of control

[Anonymous]

Not just in streets. In grocery stores, on every corner, walking into streets, banging on windows while waiting on left hand turns. You can’t go from here to there anymore without being harrassed. I’ve been in this area about 35 years and have never seen it this bad.

I agree, but there is no solution that is acceptable to all. Keep your doors locked, walk briskly into and out of businesses (or get delivery) and live your life. I consider the beggars and homeless as part of the environment, they are successful here and they multiply.

What are you doing to try to solve the problem other than complaining and clutching pearls?

Do you donate to homeless charities or churches? Are you politically involved in trying to find policy solutions? Can you give us some examples of your active engagement?

The new zombie 🧟‍♂️ drugs are horrifying. They literally cost 2-5 dollars per hit and the hits last 15-30 seconds. You can always tell a fent/tranq/benzodope/tic/saltnpepper junkie by the smell, the swollen hands, it's so incredibly sad, fast decline, and all consuming. The person begging will probably be dead in six months.

I hate the smell of the smoke, the urine everywhere (it tears the bladder apart, the zombies, and the horrid metro elevator entrances.

I saw two fighting about whose street corner it was. The county needs to get their act together and start passing out panhandling permits.

I think people need to stop enabling them. Let's be frank - The panhandling isn't about hunger or mundane needs. There already are more than enough supports and resources to supply that. It's about substance abuse. Incidentally, in DC people CAN legally be involuntarily committed into rehab, but DC lacks the will to do so.

Nope, not with the open door policy here at the borders

We pay a ridiculous amount in taxes. Enough for the city to both provide social services and enforce the laws.

Dumb comment. It happened under Trump, too. Rolling my eyes at you.

What's your plan for putting the "street beggars" into whatever the opposite of "out of control" is? Who is supposed to "control" them, and how are they supposed to do it?
