I want start seeing them popping up in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, North Arlington and McLean, too.

Let the people who created this problem see it everyday. [/quote]

Great news! For years there has been a homeless camp in Falls Church/ Fairfax. It is located in the woods off of route 7 and Idylwood, behind St Paul’s church.

There is also a relatively new encampment under the WO&D overpass in Arlington.[/quote]

There is an encampment next to my office in North Arlington.  It's been there since the pandemic.  When I work late, I let the women come into the office and wash up and wash their hair in the kitchen sink. We frequently leave pizza or sandwiches for them after work.   About ten people everynight -- mostly women[/quote]

This seems like such a liability issue.  This is okay with your company’s leadership?[/quote]

I own the company and the building.  The leadership is fine with what we do. [/quote]

LOL. You're letting homeless people shower in your work kitchen? We believe you!!!![/quote]

We don’t have a shower.  Women  wash their hair in the sink.   What’s wrong with that? [/quote]

I hope you got everyone in the office to agree to this, including your boss.  The liability issues if someone commits a crime would be interesting... Not to mention that I would be pretty grossed out by cooking my food in this kitchen.[/quote]

Again, it is my company.  I am the boss.  Again, I said when I work late, I let the women in to clean up. There are no other employees present.  The people clean up after themselves and the cleaning crew comes in the morning.  [/quote]

I have to assume several things:

you have major, costly insurance policies
you have on-site physical security nearby
you are alone when you're working late
you are charmingly naive
not all of your employees are aware that you do this
you are quite likely to be a troll, the tell is morning cleaning crews, they work overnights[/quote]
