[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly the tent encampments sprung up at the onset of the pandemic.  Fair to say the authorities don’t press them to go to shelters now that have reduced capacity due to social distancing requirements.  But I feel confident that will change before next winter when the capacity issue is resolved.

I live in Mt P. and you do t see too many tents, but there are lots of nooks and crannies here.  One guy was sleeping in my open garage.  I left a bit of room for him at the back.  Live and let live.  Once somebody crapped in there that pissed me off and I let him know.  [/quote]
No they didn’t. The people were living outside safeway and McDonald’s for at least a year before the pandemic shutdown. [/quote]

I moved to Dupont in 2019 from another part of DC, and the tents around the Safeway on 17th were already popping up.  I heard reports from people that the homeless were getting very aggressive.  17th and R is my favorite intersection in the city, but that area is going downhill.  The homeless are even more aggressive/brazen during the pandemic.  I took a walk there a month or so into lockdowns and they were gathering in front of stores and accosting people/insulting them.  I've seen a hint of that before, but never to that point. [/quote]
