Good that the VI guy is walking around with an illegal firearm.

Thank you! I’ve stayed near there about a decade ago and was stuck at a conference at hotel. Appreciate your response!

Thank you so much for quick response! I’ve read the visitor FAQ on this sub, but this is very helpful!

This is correct. They are treated like children with curfews, bed, and room checks. Many places (shelters) are first come, first served, so while you may have somewhere to sleep tonight, you may not be able to sleep there tomorrow. The housing also mixes many different people together who may steal your belongings or assault you overnight. The encampments create small communities of trusted and "like" people. Moving them also removes that trust. And yes, drug rehab programs, job seeking, clothing, food, are all programs already offered by the city to address the issue.

the thing about the old days, is they’re the old days

If you got an unlimited budget stay near the walking mall. Get one of the nice 4-5 star Hotels. Close to all the monuments and museums. Safe and fun part of town. Can be pricey for everything from a room to an evening Drink.

I noticed dc has a hotel chain I stayed at in nyc called Moxy. It had a cute trendy vibe, something a teenage girl would probably love. I’m from dc and really enjoyed my time at the one in nyc.

Hotel, pretty unlimited budget.

Caesar salad and several martinis

Do you want a hotel? Hostel? Airbnb?

What's your nightly budget?

I'm not sure if it is a requirement, but my understanding was that most if not all of the violence interrupters are convicted felons who have served time for violent felonies -- a mark of distinction that purportedly gives them the "street cred" to interact with people who are thinking about committing criminal violence.

If the violence interrupter involved in this shooting was a convicted felon, he/she was disqualified from owning/possessing firearms. Surely he/she was not eligible to obtain a DC concealed carry permit.

The business has now deleted their super cringey response and replaced it with a better one.

But we all saw their original response and the comment they posted here.

All I can say is...yikes.

What are you worried is going to happen? You order the wrong thing and the waiter tells you to leave? Whiteshoe lawyer at the next table sues you because you didn’t order your salad dressing on the side?

The violence interrupters are a pathetic use of public funding. The political will to continue funding this program is an example illustrating how incompetent our elected leadership has become.

You’re referring to the pre-pandemic era. “Old DC” is somewhere between 1960’s white flight and early 2000’s gentrification.

Yes

And they'll probably still advertise positions out there in Ashburn as "Washington area" even though we all know no reasonable person would consider it as such lol

Modern Nails Pentagon City ask for Jenny.

I say it “Mont-ah-Hue”

You never felt unsafe? Anywhere in DC?
