[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in DC for 20 years, in a bunch of different neighborhoods close  to downtown (dupont, logan, CH, petworth etc).  I left in 2017, and visit a couple times a year (usually for work, so mostly  spend time just downtown).  I visited this summer for pleasure, and holy crap, what a difference from a few years ago. DC always had it's problems, and I woke up more times than i care to remember with trash or junk on my front stoop. But the tent cities are a new level of terrible.  My friends were surprisingly chill about it, and I don't know why.

DC has been poor and underserved for pretty much all of modern history, so i'm not sure why "high rents" would cause this issue to first crop up in 2020. There's obviously something cultural that's changed.  [/quote]

+1 I lived in DC from ‘85 to 2000 before moving to the MD suburbs for work and kids’ schools. I loved DC and had such an incredible time, but the tent cities, pot smoking everywhere and even just  the aggressiveness near Tenleytown when Wilson lets out is all disgusting and very sad. [/quote]
