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.

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.

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

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

I own the company and the building. The leadership is fine with what we do.

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

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

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.

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.

Finland does not compare to the US. Despite the Sami, they are homogeneous.

Aww, you wanted to say the N word but wouldn't. How cute.

DP. Please tell me that you do not know that the Sami are indigenous people of Finland, similar to the indigenous people of the Americas.

But then the cute race card is never far from your weak hand

Yes, I'm familiar. I've been to northern Finland. The differences and similarities in how the Sami were/are treated is an interesting topic, but a complete tangent. The PP was implying that Finland can treat homelessness because they are homogenous (implication: racially) and that the US can't because we're not homogenous. It's racist BS and should be called out for it.

+1 what does a diverse population have to do with addressing the homeless crisis? Do some people think white people can't be homeless, living on the streets?

Any individual, in any common office space, should not be using the sink to wash their hair. I call troll.

Some of my neighbors in my neighborhood--which wasn't even a bad one, but it was in the city proper--stopped locking their cars and just never left anything of value in them because people would smash their windows and rummage through even if there was nothing in them. So they would just leave them unlocked and let people go through the empty car.

My friend managed one of the big luxury stores in SF. What was crazy was the amount of wealth being spent in her store but also how much theft, etc. was a problem compared to other locations. It became increasingly dangerous and she quit.

"San Fransicko reveals that the underlying problem isn’t a lack of housing or money for social programs. The real problem is an ideology that designates some people, by identity or experience, as victims entitled to destructive behaviors. The result is an undermining of the values that make cities, and civilization itself, possible."

Ding ding ding!
