Long overdue. This needs to happen on public land all over DC. McPherson square is horrible
AWFUL, SHAMEFUL, TRAGIC MANY ARE VETERANS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Clearing encampments emerging as an ugly feature of our “return to normal”.
It’s good to hear that they are asking for help to find housing, not just clearing them out.
This would just be status quo for the homeless population if MayorBowser had not announced that her major goal with the 3billion was to redo unionstation a federally owned property.
I can smell it from here in SE
Homelessness is not a crime.
Odds that the latter precedes the former...
Many of the homeless suffer from chronic mental illnesses, substance abuse & trauma so even if the city offered them shelter, “freedom” insistence is common with homeless. Many of DC shelters are dangerous. But Union Station is the most beautiful gateway to DC; the tents are sad.
The article says there are no deadlines to move in the revised DC encampment clearing program. So what does the city do if a person refuses offers of shelter? Allow them to live indefinitely on public land?
DC should immediately offer shelter and social services when a tent is set up. After such offer of help is made, if the person declines the offer of shelter, the encampment should be cleared. DC should not allow indefinite encampments.
WashProbs And they go terrorize another neighborhood
Finally
Help them. They’re human beings.
It is a bad look
About time
'Residents'
Good!
Of course they will… fuck NPS.
What about the ones inside Union Station?
