[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should move all the homeless to Arlington and Bethesda.  [/quote]

I’m in Alexandria and have noticed a huge spike in homeless people in the last week, all in places that don’t normally have any at all. I am literally in my car several hours a day driving all over the city (and sometimes into Fairfax and Arlington) so I’m very familiar with locations where it’s not unusual to see someone who’s living in the bus stop or pushing a grocery cart, etc. But tents popped up on Eisenhower near Holland? A woman pushing 2 carts of stuff on Quaker towards the circle of death/
Shirlington exit, men standing in the street in very dirty clothes, screaming gibberish on Braddock by GW, just to name a few since Monday. Something is off. [/quote]

So I have to drive hours a day around here too and to me this isn't new but yes there has been a large increase. Tents have been in Alexandria by 395 for years same with the tents by Duke & N Beauregard St but new homeless people walking around aimlessly it's been shockingly bad the last 2 weeks or so. I just came home for an hour and I'm like where do I live? It's so shocking, what's happening here?[/quote]
