[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There shouldn't be "encampments" anywhere in the city. We need to stop shuffling deck chairs in the Titanic and voluntarily house people or involuntarily house/hospitalize them. The housing and housed should be heavily monitored, as the district is creating nuisance buildings with their current housing effort. Tired of seeing human faeces at bus stops and so much ill behavior being applauded and supported by the hug a homeless crowd . [/quote]

These so called activists don’t have or want solution, just want to look righteous and compassionate. They aren’t helping anyone.[/quote]

I think most of the activists are naive about a few things about encampments.

1. They don’te realize that many/most tent encampments are actually part of organized crime - drug dealing, prostitution, stolen goods. They may admit that the residents use drugs, but they don’t realize or admit that the tents are used to conduct organized crime.

2. They don’t realize that DC residents of all colors are very much in support of getting rid of encampments and open-air drug markets. When these activists take a stand for encampments, they believe they are on the side of an imagined black majority. But talk to any black resident near an encampment and you’ll hear a very different take. [/quote]
