[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It couldn’t be more obvious that OP’s real concern - and the concern of many other posters living in Upper Caucasia - isn’t the mental health or “sad” condition of the “poor young man.”  It’s that they don’t want him in the park near their precious children.

What does it say about you that you think it’s more than acceptable for a human being with clear mental challenges to live in a park, peeing in bushes? People care more about homeless dogs than people and it’s truly disgusting. [/quote]

NP here. Why is OP concerned about this particular homeless person? There are many, yes even in the bubble of upper nw dc. I, too, would guess the underlying priority for the post is that she doesn’t want this guy at turtle park vs her priority being concerned about his welfare. But what do I know of OP’s motivation (just like none of us know this young person’s background nor his family’s for that matter, all of which are being speculated on here). [/quote]

I live in a neighborhood that is definitely not Upper Caucasia, but we wouldn’t allow a homeless person to set up camp in our neighborhood park that has children’s playgrounds. We learned during covid what this leads to with encampments. I would call 911 or the behavioral health line every time I saw this guy passed out. In our park people basically make anyone who sets up camp move on by telling them they can’t do that. Homeless people like anyone else can sit on a bench and use the park but they can’t set up camp, pass out, threaten, deal drugs, use drugs …[/quote]

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, suggesting that this guy is doing anything like that.  [/quote]

OP says he passes out near the playground and exposes his genetalia near children. [/quote]

And she’s soooo concerned about HIS well-being.  Right.  [/quote]

I don’t think her post was about his well being - and I don’t necessarily have a problem with that. [/quote]
