A neighborhood is divided over the future of homeless encampments at the intersection of 12th Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Northwest D.C.
In an anonymous letter to the National Park Service in late June, several Ward 2 residents asked officials to clear the encampments at Burke Park and Gompers Park immediately.
Citing concerns about increased crime and poor sanitation in the area, the letter urged U.S. Park Police to enforce the agency’s rules and prevent the encampments from coming back once vacated.
