[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're going to love it when the buses are full of homeless people. [/quote]

I've been on buses with homeless people and I'm ok with it.[/quote]

not buses with homeless people. buses FULL of homeless people. they would become de facto homeless shelters. [/quote]

Then maybe we need to do better with our homeless shelters if they're choosing a bus over the shelter.

But I also don't believe your hyperbole.[/quote]

Have you visited DC public libraries lately?
[/quote]

Yes?  With my kids.  They're great.

And homeless people have a right to use them and buses.  If you don't like homeless people using public services then maybe we could get them homes?[/quote]

Build a shipping container camp with small rooms on the vacant land at RFK.  Provide services on site, including skills building and security.  But then no more living on the streets and no more camping in the parks![/quote]

And good bus service to the camp so they can get where they need?  Plus services so the people at the camp can thrive and make their way out of it?

Make it so good that people don't choose the street over the camp, unlike the current roster of shelters.[/quote]

The D.C. government hates homeless people. It would rather spend a gazillion dollars on bike lanes for rich white dudes from Ward 3 than spend a dollar on giving homeless people a place to sleep. They just want homeless people to go away. [/quote]

Rich white dudes in ward 3 is not the typical bike rider in this city. It’s ward 1, 4 and 5 that are more likely to ride bikes.[/quote]

LOL. Have you tried riding a bike in Brookland anywhere other than the MBT? I assume not, since you're still alive. [/quote]
