[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drove to DC today and it was a ghost town with mostly homeless people, tents, and the smell of weed stinking the air. It's definitely different than 2 years a go. [/quote]

Newsflash:  it’s December 23.  DC is always empty around Christmas.  Obviously you don’t live here.  [/quote]

Newsflash:   I am a PA at a K St medical office.  We never closed and the K St area has been deserted for months. Most of the lunch places have closed
The homeless encampments are inching toward our office from Washington Circle.  I live near the Cathedral
 and the residential areas haven’t changed much, but the commercial areas look like a Sunday afternoon in August.

Your poor thing.  Watch out or the homeless will get you![/quote]

More or less the definition of whistling past the graveyard.

People have legitimate concerns about the direction of the city but you would rather bury your head in the sand.

You don’t live here for one.

For two, “concerns” my ass.  Lots of poster are inexplicably getting off on DC hitting a rough patch.

Finally, we’re still in the middle of the pandemic.  As I said before, check back in a couple years.  Things will get better.   [/quote]

I am the PA and a DC native and have always lived in DC except for college.  My family has been here since Reconstruction and my mother worked for the DC Government  for years and we’ve seen the City through many stages.    I hope you are right about a couple of years.  [/quote]
The PP is wrong both about people “getting off” on DC hitting a rough patch and everything going back to pre-pandemic times “in a couple years”. [/quote]
