The encampments were actually an improvement over homeless in the parks and sleeping on the street. Now they are gone...

if only there was a place they could shelter or be detained if they commit crimes?

Being homeless is a crime?

It's a crime to camp in public areas.

Where do you suggest they go? Shelters are full? Are you ok with your tax money going to house them in hotels?

Send them to rehab or psych wards.

Good luck finding ones with empty beds.

They need a safe place to live longterm and healthcare. So many with abscesses on their feet and missing teeth from lack of health and dental care.

Trump doesn’t care about them, Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He just wants to push them further away from the White House and couldn’t care less if they died. He’d probably be happy if they did.

Yes, we certainly don't want economic activity in DC!

Agree with this, and stopped going to DC years ago. It’s just too hostile on all accounts, would rather spend my money and time in VA.

Yes, please stay in VA. We don’t want you here.

+1. The city felt the same as before the ‘cleanup.’

It was a positive change, as usual. DC looks depressing with all the homeless people and encampments.

Does anyone know if they are still congregating in other areas like the libraries and metros? If they aren't, I may revisit date nights, etc, taking the metro and walking around at night.

Liar. MAGA employee posting this crap.

Where are they supposed to go? Libraries are open to the public. Same with metro. Please do revisit date nights -- we don't want your kind in dc.

Your administration greatly increased the problem with open borders straining social services past the breaking point. We never want "your kind" in power ever again!

Now it's blatantly obvious you're a MAGA troll posting from anywhere but DC. The homeless population is DC has nothing to do with immigration. Immigrants do not put a strain on social services. Poor white folks in red states do that.

You are so fos.
I've lived (unfortunately) in the DC area or DC my entire life.

Bulllll shitttttt......no one who lives here thinks that homeless are immigrants. We know better.

There are definitely foreign homeless in DC.

Have they lived their lives in a way that leads to a long, healthy life?

Such an astonishingly dumb, privileged, moronic question. Doesn't even deserve a response.

Sure you found a rogue foreign person among the homeless. Those of us living here know that they are primarily native DC blacks.

I’m in Alexandria and have noticed a huge spike in homeless people in the last week, all in places that don’t normally have any at all. I am literally in my car several hours a day driving all over the city (and sometimes into Fairfax and Arlington) so I’m very familiar with locations where it’s not unusual to see someone who’s living in the bus stop or pushing a grocery cart, etc. But tents popped up on Eisenhower near Holland? A woman pushing 2 carts of stuff on Quaker towards the circle of death/
Shirlington exit, men standing in the street in very dirty clothes, screaming gibberish on Braddock by GW, just to name a few since Monday. Something is off.

+1.

Why should they go to Arlington and Bethesda?

Water will flow. If they are rousted from DC, what do you think will happen?

So you just want to send them to be someone else's problem? Got it.

No, I don’t. Where did you read that? I am just telling the suburbanites that homeless people will move someplace else because the current Admin isn’t actually solving anything except their optics problem. They are all about optics. So the homeless are still homeless and will be showing up on Columbia Pike soon enough. And yes, then they will be NoVa’s responsibility.

"will be showing up on Columbia Pike"

Where have you been? They're already living on tents on both sides of Columbia Pike by 7. This is already a big thing.

So I have to drive hours a day around here too and to me this isn't new but yes there has been a large increase. Tents have been in Alexandria by 395 for years same with the tents by Duke & N Beauregard St but new homeless people walking around aimlessly it's been shockingly bad the last 2 weeks or so. I just came home for an hour and I'm like where do I live? It's so shocking, what's happening here?

Not at all. Drug use is a choice before it becomes an addiction. Many homeless choose that lifestyle even when offered rehab, housing, and food.

I didn’t say the homeless were new in Alexandria, but there is a huge increase in numbers and they’re in new locations that I was very puzzled. I am not hopeful the city will try to provide any services given how the 395/King/Seminary/Beauregard camp outs have been or how many years that man lives on King Street at Bradlee (yes, I have contacted the city over and over again about him, because he wanders into traffic he harasses kids at Bradlee, and he stores propane tanks on the side of the road) and Alexandria claims they can’t do anything about him and he’s Arlington’s problem and Arlington says it’s Alexandria. SO how is Alexandria going to handle more homeless if they can’t even handle 1 person.
