Not sure if he is still practicing (Google Maps says permanently closed but he's still on heathgrades and zocdoc) but if he is I'd suggest Dr. Carl Ruderman in Riverdale Park.

He took out all 4 of my wisdom teeth (plus a bonus molar the wisdom teeth had crushed) and it was a nearly painless process.

He also took my crappy insurance and the total bill was very reasonable.

I havent had any issues but they did just jack up my price.

Somewhat unrelated but I encourage folks to negotiate to lower their price!

So you get them out of McPherson, and they just go elsewhere. It's literally not a solution. Not to mention that they'll just move elsewhere, aka another park. And these raids will often result in them losing their possessions and relevant documents (IDs, paperwork, etc).

I get what everyone else is saying but other than ensuring these folks set up camp elsewhere in the city + literally not addressing the root causes of why they are there in the first place , what exactly is everyone here hoping this will accomplish??

Yeah after a very long time with zero issues at all the internet will be super slow or crap out and I'll have to restart the modem to fix it and then it starts up again.

I don’t think people are calling for violence. It’s quite the opposite. They are sick and tired of the violence these camps are causing in their communities. I agree there is no easy solution here, buttering people take over public parks and terrorize the local community isn’t it.

...no?

It’s always edgy white college kids from suburban Maryland that make these profound announcements 😂

We all shit eventually. It’s okay, really.

Yes, a police report

Anyone who has read up on why the timeline for clearing the park was moved up knows this isn’t about punishing the homeless or reclaiming public spaces. It’s because the drug use and violent crime in the encampment has literally become so pronounced that social services workers can’t safely access those who need assistance anymore.

The city doesn’t have an unlimited budget. It’s about doing the most amount of good for the most amount of people, and the extent of the encampment has become unmanageable and is preventing those who are desperately in need of services from getting them.

I haven’t noticed any issues.

I do need to call them to drop my price though.

Fine for me.

That happened to me a few months ago. It happened to be at the same time as competitors were installing services in the building, so maybe that?

Yep, since this weekend it’s been Astound-ingly bad. One of my neighbors called and got upgraded modems, etc. because they heard that Astound hasn’t upgraded a lot of systems, and now things are better for them. I need to call and do the same.

I work from home as well and this has been so aggravating. I can't get an answer on an ETA for fixing it either.

This is a great initiative. Can you please share more about the drafters of the open letter and what coordination/organization is happening with the people living in McPherson? Also maybe share in DMs since there's a lot of cowards on here, warm in their homes, who are so scared of the homeless trying to survive in "their" parks that they are willing to call for violence against them.

Yes. My internet has been really slow this week and today it keeps going in and out. I work from home and it's making me crazy.
