[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC government has the privileged position of letting the feds clean up a mess they want gone but pleasing constituents with statements condemning it.[/quote] I think this might be right. At issue is that they set a precedent of housing those in other encampments with 1-year leases. Not sure that is viable on a continuing basis. So it’s easier to put it to NPS and to move them without the extensive support services that the city would otherwise feel obligated to provide. I am sure someone is going to scream at me for wondering this, but I do wonder how many of the people that have been housed in apartments on upper Connecticut were people that were formerly in housed in encampments and whether or not that experience is factoring into the city deferring to NPS now. End result will probably be congregation into city own lands. [/quote]
