[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I supported the construction of the Brooks family shelter and have donated money and supplies, but I'm beginning to regret it.  The shelter worked well for the first couple years, but it has been less well run this year.  An increasing number of residents smoke weed and panhandle aggressively in front of the Giant.  I also routinely witness them throwing trash, including used diapers, in the planters instead of nearby trash cans.  If their basic needs are being met, why are they panhandling?  And aren't drugs against the rules at the shelter?  They are definitely illegal in public places.  And I know it is people from the shelter because I've witnessed them returning there.

People who used to walk to the Giant are now driving to avoid the mess in front.  What is the best approach to dealing with this?[/quote]

Do you know how many buildings along Connecticut Avenue are now de facto homeless shelters?  It’s absolutely criminal what our Ward Rep and ANCs have allowed to happen to a once safe and family friendly corridor. [/quote]

ANCs have no say in this.  [/quote]

It's my understanding that approximately 3k of the 5k PSH vouchers are being used on the Connecticut and Wisconsin corridors. [/quote]

You get that this is all on Bowser. She is petulant and she resents Ward 3. (Catania killed her here and she has never moved on.)

All the talk about Goulet and ANCs are distractions. (Goulet would have been better on crime, but he would have achieved nothing. Nobody wanted to work with him. He would have been issuing clever sound bites into the void and nothing more. (ANCs have nothing to do with this. The poster blaming them is just on his usual stalking horse.))

This is on the executive and always has been. Period. Full stop. [/quote]

Stop trying to blame the mayor for everything. This is on Frumin now. [/quote]
