>No one wakes up and decides to be homeless for funsies.
Uh, yes, they absolutely do. Ever hear of vagabonds? I saw a lot of them down in Charlottesville--they're usually young people who decide to just drop out of society and travel around the country by jumping on trains and stopping in cities/towns to beg for money and food.

Rock Creek Conservancy has cleanup (invasive plants or trash) events all year round, and so does the Anacostia Watershed Society. Both are well organized, and give volunteers an opportunity to help push back against damage to the parks in meaningful ways.

Fair, but once you leave, it wouldn't be a stretch for a contractor to pay you 6 figures with that level clearance (or at the very least a decent wage.)

You can’t win. Showing up to stop them is also what they want.

In the last two weeks they lost Nespresso, Altar’d State, and the large hat kiosk near the food court. They also lost Panera in January.

They’re in North Virginia. I ran into a large group of them in a Bloomingdale’s in Tysons Corner a few years ago. But I would not count DC out as well.

Same thing happened to me a few years back with a disc golf course on an army base in AZ. My friends and I drove an hour before realizing that there was an army base there and that we couldn't get in. I wish Google could've said something about that lol

I don’t have any suggestions, but just want to commend you on your initiative and for posting here. Hopefully your post will inspire others to also seek ways to help their community. It’s certainly inspiring to me.

Really? I was there about a month ago, didn’t see a significant number of closed stores or restaurants in the food court.

Yeah, most baseline Republicans I talk to these days seem pretty on board with conflating anything overtly LGBT-friendly with pedophilia. Everyone is a groomer except actual groomers, who are actually just respectable gentlemen trying to find a traditional wife.

That said, "I don't get it but more power to you" is a pretty good baseline attitude to be shooting to get established in society in general.

they are uncleared, and they are escorted through every SCIF.
