Ummm, I don't want to identify anyone in particular. Let's just say there is a lot of "activity" in the green areas beside Wilson High and Deal. lots of foliage coverage there. Also some in the woodsy from area by Hearst..also, the areas right behind Tenley business row, like Cava, Popeyes etc. and the small parks along Wisconsin' and Glover Archbold trail.. Obviously the library for the past year. The city seems to be allowing these campouts and encampments wherever anyone cares to set up.I think the ones next to schools or on schoolish grounds, especially with the human waste and through traffic of lots of minors who may stumble upon folks that aren't necessarily stable/sober etc. are quite problematic. Friendship Place gets a lot of community support, but I've never seen them redirecting people or getting folks off the street. So if they're not doing it and the city isn't doing it, who is left?

Doesn't seem like the right chemistry to have so many camping by schools, like the sleep + poop field by Wilson High School.

Which school?

I’m not OP but I would not want someone sleeping on my sidewalk. If that’s cool with you, please provide your address and OP can direct them to a more hospitable location.

It's not your sidewalk.

Tell that to the city who requires you to shovel it.

Most of you would be happier in the suburbs.

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Mothers (and fathers) all deserve a safe and hygienic place to raise their kids, in cities and out, in all neighborhoods.

As long as we're talking about what people all deserve - people all deserve a safe and hygienic place to sleep and live, in cities and out, in all neighborhoods.

I agree. We all agree. It’s unsafe for everyone, especially the unhoused for them to be on the street.

Can you buy him a train ticket or Uber to Baltimore?

Get a powerful garden sprinkler. Or a barking dog. They will move along to somewhere else.

Time to escalate, OP. Call the cops unless you want this to be permanent.
Signed, dupont resident who’s watched the neighborhood go to trash in the past two years.

It isn’t Urban Moms (and Dads) who are facing the challenges of being homeless


The real urban challenges are falling on those who do not have a home to go to!
