[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with the homeless tent city that has grown along Rock Creek Parkway near K St.?  The area is now covered in litter and graffiti. [/quote]

Just drove by this. Found myself hoping for Trump to win for the first time so his National Park services appointees clear this out. [/quote]

The Secretary of Interior is so focused on her performative indigenous posturing that she has lost sight of protecting the national perks, the Nation’s Crown Jewels and her department’s foremost mission.[/quote]

They should move the homeless from DC parklands to spacious parks out west.[/quote]

DC should create a fenced shelter and care facility on the unused RFK parking lots with security and a strict no drugs rule, with medical care and vocational training.  Parks and streets are no place for vagrants. “campers.”[/quote]

What a great idea to "concentrate" all the "campers" into one fenced area, patrolled by guards with strict rules. Surely this won't be problematic in any way or have terrible historical precedent.[/quote]
Letting them loose in the city to wreak havoc everywhere and cause lasting, long-term harm through sex offenses against minors without repercussions doesn’t seem like such a great alternative.[/quote]

No one is proposing 24/7 confinement.   But clearly there would need to be some security fencing on the compound and monitored entrances, particularly at night to discourage crime, drug dealing/substance abuse and prostitution.[/quote]

You sure have put a lot of thought into this issue. Sounds like you've got a "final solution" for the homelessness epidemic! Maybe instead of 24/7 confinement we could enact a compromise, they can leave if they have jobs but otherwise need to stay in the camp. We could come up with a catchy slogan to get the word out, like "work will make you free."[/quote]
