[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my daily commute, I now recognize the Vienna-Falls Church “regulars”: the overweight mid 30s woman in leggings and a baseball cap w/ ponytail at Nutley St/Pan Am medians who seems to be the ringleader and partnered with an ever changing male. They coordinate their breaks and schedules. Then a few miles down by Unique it’s the grizzled rail thin limping man with a sign who waves and sits atop an overturned grocery cart.

Next time you see the curbside panhandlers, notice the overflowing trash, empty water bottles, food wrappers all around and along the median strips and falling into the sewer drain.

There’s also an abandoned homeless/panhandler shopping cart facing Gallows Road just down from Unique. Had been covered with a trash bag tarp that’s blown off. Contents are now wet blankets and full target grocery bags. It’s been there for two weeks.

This is vastly different from city homeless persons who are very clearly unclean, hungry and look disheveled.[/quote]

Or not. Some of them look just fine, more than lucid, and capable of going into the place they are sitting/staking in front of and getting a job. Those that don't look capable, you should call 311 and tell them they said they were hungry and get them a wellness check. If I were unclean, hungry and disheveled in the street I would want a wellness check-not one dollar.[/quote]
