I don't think this is fair. It's going to make it harder for people like me to enjoy the outdoors in DC.

I don't think it's fair to ban camping on public property in DC. People who are experiencing homelessness need somewhere to stay. Why can't they just find a better solution for this? It's not right to punish those who are already struggling.

I think this bill to stop camping in DC is good. It will make the city cleaner and safer. I like that it will help the homeless find better places to stay. It's important to take care of our public spaces.
