[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a vicious cycle.  We lived in DC for a decade and I’ve worked downtown for over two decades, but I’ll keep holding out to work from home remotely until there’s assurance that Bowser and the MPD are going to clean the city up.  I’ve been to Union Station a few times and the surrounding area is just sordid.  I know the powers that be may not have an incentive to clean things up until the businesses start putting pressure on them, but they really ought to be taking the lead here.  They are so full of their own rhetoric that they have no idea how much damage they are doing to the city’s short and medium-term prospects. I feel sorry for people who bought in recent years thinking the city would always keep improving.  That’s anything but the case right now. [/quote]
It’s incredible to me how little pride the mayor and council have it the city that they can allow it to become like this. I guess so long as the tents and encampments are not near their own homes then they don’t care?[/quote]

But, these are PEOPLE!  You don’t just “clean up” - like they are human garbage or something.

You PPs sound like heartless MAGA-morons.[/quote]

Yes, you clean up.  They are people and they need to live by the rules society sets, to include not camping out on public property.  The interests of the city as a whole simply matter much more.

We set the rules, and those deprived of homes are following the rules we set by utilizing public spaces to simply exist.

They are not bothering anyone; why do you hate them so? [/quote]

Will you be okay if they use your front lawn as their toilet and do drugs in front of your children?  [/quote]
