[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went up to Tenleytown last night.  The heavyset woman who sleeps in the bus stop who has been there since like 2014 was still there.  The self-appointed The Hobo guy sitting outside the CVS who is there every day was still there.  There was a pan handler I hadn't seen before outside of the Target/metro entrance.  Other than that... I had dinner, I did a bit of shopping at a couple stores... and then I took the metro back home and never once did anyone really bother me nor did I feel unsafe.[/quote]

The dude outside the CVS has [i]advertising[/i] on his stuff. He's also 100 percent harmless.

There are always people asking for money outside the Target, just as people were asking for money when it was a Best Buy, and just as people were asking for money when it was Hechinger.

The people who think Tenleytown is dangerous are probably the same rubes who think anything busier than a cul-de-sac is a "busy road."[/quote]

Why is the community forced to tolerate aggressive panhandling and vagrancy ?[/quote]

NP here.  I lived in that neighborhood in the 90's, when Hechinger was there, and frequented that Hechinger. It was a place I felt safe as a single woman, coming and going.  It doesn't seem that way any more. [/quote]
