[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could be Woodley Park, Cleveland Park, Van Ness or Chevy Chase DC.

Not very "welcoming" of those who would support local businesses, eh? Or of those businesses who are an important part of the DC tax base/revenue stream. SMH.

Stevie Wonder saw this coming. DC is becoming less appealing to live in, work or visit. Who will pay for all the bike lanes and vouchers when revenues drop? Clearly that trajectory is not only continuing but accelerating. And DC is an outlier re: trends in other cities, even nearby Baltimore.

Maybe if the restaurant manager would feed the unhoused they wouldn't be so belligerent. Maybe he would be up for a Nobel Peace prize like Andrès, instead of hoarding his profits. [/quote]

You mean get grants from the city to run a feeding program? Many churches do that? Why should restaurants, with thin margins, step into that space, rather than say paying their WORKERS better? 
You don't think that "idea" would attract MORE vagrants and mentally ill from around the city and region? Andres has many businesses, the restaurants on Connecticut have significantly less resources. Andres sets up feeding centers when there are natural disasters, he's not running ongoing programs for the "unhoused."

The "unhoused" is a never ending group as people travel to DC for the vouchers and other benefits, or to escape CA's increased involuntary commitment. Most jurisdictions will pay to transport one way. So, DC should feed the vagrants, addicts and mentally ill for the whole US and that burden should fall on private businesses? [/quote]
