[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting back to the topic … I think tents are a trend enabled by the availability of tents, the reasonable wish not to live in a shelter or motel during covid, combined with the opioid epidemic and unaffordable housing. This combined with DC’s tolerance of encampments, and access to amenities downtown like food kitchens, donations, public bathrooms.[/quote] Tents are the reason why people think there is more homelessness now than ever, when the reality for anyone who has lived in this area a long time know that is not true. It’s been really, really bad. People have tents because some group went out and provided them tents. It’s up to the city to decide whether or not they will continue to tolerate the encampments. The problem is that Bowser has boxed herself in by closing and demolishing DC General before having any alternative lined up. It was irresponsible and morally outrageous. So that’s why we have the tents. [/quote]
