I wasn’t being a smart-ass...I just asked a question...I’m sorry if you had to work too hard to find the answer...I really didn’t need to know when it was...Only that it was earlier...That was kinda obvious, don’t you think????
Last July.
kinda obvious, don’t you think????

William Everett has been living in a tent in McPherson Square for the past 10 months, which he says is better than sleeping in a shelter.
“There’s too much going on,” Everett said of why he doesn’t like shelters. “They come to check certain things. They check if you got a knife, gun, bottle of liquor, but they don’t drug test.”
It could have been recent. I live in DC (long story, don’t frag me). We had some very warm days/evenings recently. But regardless, that’s what it looks like near the WH ...it’s quite “civilized” in Franklin Park because one of the Woke churches feeds them daily and provides clothing and other essentials. There are a number of similar camps in the downtown area. But there are many, smaller, truly filthy camps scattered all over — including now in Rock Creek Park. Those are often just pup tents and tarps over fallen trees. Park Service rousts some of them, but many are deep in the trees and brush.
DC is now planning to make the bus system totally free ...so we’ll have rolling homeless shelters filled with psychos. (They did this during covid and that’s what happened.)
The traditional central business/legal district of DC is now almost a wasteland. Only 40% or so of office workers are in the officer on any given day. That’s also true for most of the federal agencies, which are located south of the K St area. As a result, massive numbers of locally-owned business have closed and office buildings are empty.
DC gov wants to “revitalize” the area by turning empty offices into apartments and condos. Problem is, no one, not even Lefties, wants to live there.
In contrast, the booming area of DC is the Wharf area along the Potomac River — right across from Arlington, where Amazon is building its Tower of Babel. Condos and apartments down there are going for massive amounts of money and the clubs and restaurants are packed.

As long as Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim are invited, it will be fine...
They need to reopen St. Elizabeth’s Mental Hospital.
