They should have converted DC General homeless shelter into a secured mental hospital instead of panic closing it after the Relisha Rudd system failure/tragedy...rehabbed and secured. Who owns the land now... Did Bowser sell it for a song to developers?

Yes, she did.

Redeveloping the DC General real estate was the primary driver for Bowser to push building homeless shelters in each ward. That, and to spread the challenge around for “equity.”[/quote]

And let's not forget the sweetheart ground leases that were done with respect to the homeless shelters which were located on privately owned land . . . .

Agree that DC General should have been made a secure mental hospital.  Had unsettling experience today at noon in the block at Van Ness/Wisconsin where the Psychiatric Institute is.  Woman at bus stop ranting loudly, angrily and continuously.  The level of violence by the mentally ill in the city has risen so much that now I cross the street from people behaving like that because I am worried about getting shoved into traffic.  [/quote]

Was she an elderly white with a big metal shopping cart, possibly with a bright red bag among her possessions ? If so she is well known to the neighborhood and Friendship Place outreach and is having an "episode" - you need to call it in to 311, Frumins office, and 911 if you feel immediately threatened. If it's the same lady she has actually been chasing after and trying to hit people and says really scary and insulting things . They need to hear about her from EVERYONE so they actually intervene. Even if it's not the same lady, please call in someone having a psychotic break to 311. Please let me know if you need any numbers of the above to contact. It's not to late to report this experience.

Agree, this cannot stand..anyone could be shoved or hit including the MANY children trying to get to school safely on this thoroughfare. [/quote]
