[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Survival of the fittest. I don't want a bunch of raccoons taking up residence in my backyard and I don't want a bunch of homeless people there  either[/quote]

You are an ugly person. I would not want you living -- in a house -- anywhere near me. Gross. Society needs less people like you in it.[/quote]

Don't worry about that, you can't afford to live in my neighborhood so the possibility of us crossing paths is zero[/quote]

Uglier by the post.[/quote]

I'm just someone who doesn't even enjoy driving into DC anymore because of all the homeless and drug users who have taken up residence in the "hip" areas. Even the valets have become sketchier. It's incumbent upon the useless DC politicians to clean up the city. Instead it's going down the tubes! I didn't move to the region to NOT enjoy nights out in the city.[/quote]

Said like the true privileged gentrifier that you are. Those "hip" areas were there long before you considered the urban aesthetic to be chic - and some of those homeless were priced out of where they once lived.

I'm not one to say that what happened wasn't valid - the underpass go to the point where people were forced to walk in the street and those with strollers and wheelchairs couldn't even pass without daring traffic. That said - you're part of the problem. You want to come in and transform an area so that you can have your $22 cocktails and latest tapas craze but don't care about the displaced. Truly sickening - your attitude needs to stay in your homogenized neighborhood and no one wants your ass in our city.[/quote]

Errr.. so which is it? It sounds like the underpass was a huge problem. Not sure what cocktails have to do with that. That's pure emotion. The problem is day shelters kick people out during the day and dont let people store stuff, so they prefer to "camp out" with their objects. Is there a solution for that (that may address concerns about fleas etc)? [/quote]
