[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DuPont circle has always been sketchy/dangerous. Lots of muggings. I used to hang out there a lot 20 years ago and it got really unsettling after dark really fast. Even during the day, crossing the circle with all the homeless/mentally ill people...not the greatest. A lot nicer than adams Morgan used to be but that is not saying much. I am really sad about kramerbooks closing. [/quote]
I agree that 20 years ago it was so-so, but 10 years ago it was very nice, incredibly safe, and basically not run over with tents on the sidewalk. It has changed  and I’m shocked the community isn’t fighting for it. [/quote]

I worked there about 20 years ago and it was always sketch.  If you look around DC, the tents are no longer confined to Tent City, the tents are now EVERYWHERE.  Something needs to be done.  Not sure what. [/quote]

Well, we can go full gestapo on them, tear down their tents, throw away their few belongings, beat them, and tell them to just figure it out or something.

Or, as a city we can ask them what a better alternative would be for them and fund it.  Why aren't the shelters working for you?[/quote]

Shelters turn homeless our during the day. There should be day shelters/service centers. The city uses libraries for this which is a travesty.[/quote]
