You're a really insensitive person. I lived in the District for 10 years before moving to the suburbs. It's very sad to see people get displaced without a good alternative.

Did you even read the article you quoted, you nitwit?

This is 13:14, and this is my second post. I don't know why the raccoon poster is.

This is a direct quote from the article, which you, PP, clearly didn't read:

“There is a bed available to everyone on the street experiencing homelessness,” he said. “If we can get people to come into the system, we feel we can accommodate them. There are no special preparations needed.”

There is an alternative readily available. The encampment was creating a health hazard, and was an overall nuisance to people in the neighborhood.

The city has cleaned up that encampment every two weeks, and until now has permitted the homeless to come back. But now they won't.

You are an ugly person. I would not want you living -- in a house -- anywhere near me. Gross. Society needs less people like you in it.

Don't worry about that, you can't afford to live in my neighborhood so the possibility of us crossing paths is zero

Uglier by the post.

I'm just someone who doesn't even enjoy driving into DC anymore because of all the homeless and drug users who have taken up residence in the "hip" areas. Even the valets have become sketchier. It's incumbent upon the useless DC politicians to clean up the city. Instead it's going down the tubes! I didn't move to the region to NOT enjoy nights out in the city.

Said like the true privileged gentrifier that you are. Those "hip" areas were there long before you considered the urban aesthetic to be chic - and some of those homeless were priced out of where they once lived.

I'm not one to say that what happened wasn't valid - the underpass go to the point where people were forced to walk in the street and those with strollers and wheelchairs couldn't even pass without daring traffic. That said - you're part of the problem. You want to come in and transform an area so that you can have your $22 cocktails and latest tapas craze but don't care about the displaced. Truly sickening - your attitude needs to stay in your homogenized neighborhood and no one wants your ass in our city.

They'll be back with a week.

They clear out the homeless camps near Union Station every few months. They just come right back to the same exact spots.

Well someone needs to help them out, not just take all their earthly belongings and cart them to the dump in a trash truck. That is just uncivilized and heartless. To not care is just plain ugly. No one wants the homeless near them, but to openly say, "survival of the fittest" is disgusting. We are not animals. We are civilized.

Very sad story to see these people get displaced.
