[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been here since 1990.  Whichever PP said that the city was just this filthy and crime-ridden is dead wrong.  Sure, we had our crack-addicted Mayor and some serious problems.  But I'm now ashamed to bring visitors to parts of the city that used to be wonderful, and I won't let my teenagers roam the way that I used to.

I despise Trump and everything he stands for.  My wish is that our mayor and Council could finally be threatened enough by this administration to do what's right.  I spend a lot of time in San Francisco which has fallen even farther than DC has.  But that's the depths to which we're headed and we're not far from it.  [/quote]

When a homeless guy set up a tent village in our Ward 3 residential neighborhood the police would do nothing.  In fact, service providers were sent out regularly to make sure he was “comfortable.”  Our councilman was of course also useless.  Eventually a major storm blew through and wrecked his camp and he moved on, but the trash remained.  This city coddles criminals and homeless over the rights of taxpayers.  It’s completely dystopian.

The homeless shelter are all full. This guys is not on private property and is likely not otherwise bothering anyone. Who cares?[/quote]

The shelters are not full. Many of the homeless not in shelters refuse to go. [/quote]

I used to live in georgetown and a few chronic homeless were "friends" with some of us in the parks. We tried 50 different ways to help them, and in nearly all cases they refused. Clear mental health problems that gifts of food and clothes were a mere bandage over. Very sad, very eye-opening. I could have bought a house for some of them and they would have slept on the bench outside it. To this day I don't understand it. [/quote]
