Nope, not with the open door policy here at the borders


Put down your remote control and stop watching Fox.

What's your plan for putting the "street beggars" into whatever the opposite of "out of control" is? Who is supposed to "control" them, and how are they supposed to do it?

Dumb comment. It happened under Trump, too. Rolling my eyes at you.

We pay a ridiculous amount in taxes. Enough for the city to both provide social services and enforce the laws.

I think people need to stop enabling them. Let's be frank - The panhandling isn't about hunger or mundane needs. There already are more than enough supports and resources to supply that. It's about substance abuse. Incidentally, in DC people CAN legally be involuntarily committed into rehab, but DC lacks the will to do so.

I hate the smell of the smoke, the urine everywhere (it tears the bladder apart, the zombies, and the horrid metro elevator entrances.


Is this what’s going on at union station?

I saw two fighting about whose street corner it was. The county needs to get their act together and start passing out panhandling permits.

I agree, but there is no solution that is acceptable to all. Keep your doors locked, walk briskly into and out of businesses (or get delivery) and live your life. I consider the beggars and homeless as part of the environment, they are successful here and they multiply.
