You have be a troll. Or really breathtakingly stupid.


Please explain what is breathtakingly stupid about building housing for poor people who are arriving to this country with nothing but the clothes on their backs? Thugs like Abott and DeSantis are sending people to DC with nothing. Doesn’t it make sense to build a place where they can can stay until they get on their feet?


Simply the fact that the land won't support the building or infrastructure. However, the White House lawn would work and with the security in place there everyone would be much safer as well.


The White House lawn? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Totally unfeasible, not too mention it would ruin the entire visual aesthetic of the seat of power of our country, turning the executive mansion into a refugee camp. You must be a trumper, because only a trumper could come up with something so incredibly dumb.



It would show true humanitarian caring for America's newest residents, akin to how Washington, DC housed WWI veterans during the Bonus Expeditionary Forces march on Washington in 1932.


The optics are still horrible. If a GOP’r was president it might be a funny way to needle them, but it’s a totally awful idea right now.

WAMU recently did a good story on how the NPS screws over DC:

If a GOPr was president the problem wouldn’t exist.

Your right - Haines Point would just be underwater because of climate change.

Yes, and polar bears were supposed to be extinct by now as well. Do human’s impact climate yes, has the planet gone through periods of warming and cooling, yes and for most of those cycles humans in any form were not around.

But fear almost always overrides facts. Have a nice day. Don’t forget to research how much carbon is pumped into the atmosphere to build and charge your electric car.

Psssst - polar bears pretty much are extinct now. There’s like what, 50-60 left? They’ll never recover as a species. That’s essentially extinct, genius.

No republican politician make hay by voting against “government waste” like 40 million for sodding the mall. No way they willl vote to restore walls around the tidal basin.
As far the parks out west, they are in bad shape and under funded. The rangers can not even stop the poaching of wild life(hunting elk and deer in the national park). The animals are essentially tame so there is no sport in it. Also illegal logging in the NP is pretty bad.

The National Park Service presently has a cumulative monetary shortfall of approximately $11.1 billion. Think about a billion is in DC(national mall, museums, etc). I bet Biden and McCarthy will cut the NP budget this week.


If the Park Service is so broke it can start balancing its books by #defundingParkPolice

Again those pesky facts get in the way. There are between 3-4 times the number of polar bears today than in the 1970s. Wasn’t that about the time that the climate crisis began. Here is a link on the number of polar bears today https://fee.org/articles/the-myth-that-the-polar-bear-population-is-declining/ which puts the number at 450 to 500 times your number.

You're an idiot. The changes you're referring to happened on long geological scales of tens of thousands of years. Man made climate change has been a significant acceleration that started with the industrial age, where by extracting coal, oil and gas we have pumped countless billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere over the span of just the last 150 years, far more than forest fires, volcanism or any other natural causes in the last several million years.

Golf is the best use of the land. Green space better than a concert venue or migrant housing.

Haines Point has been around for over 130 years and will no doubt be around for 130 more.

No one but golfers considers a golf course real green space. It's fenced off from the general public unless they pay, it's not particularly attractive, it does little to support wildlife or biodiversity and it requires an abundance of chemicals to be maintained.

Not to mention, will golf even be a major sport 130 years from now? COVID provided a brief boost, but pre-pandemic, there had been a steady decline for like two decades.
