I do dog walking and about a month ago there was a man unconscious on the ground, drooling. He’d clearly overdosed and I didn’t have narcan on me so I had to call the police. It was terrifying, they had me wait there to point out his body when they arrived. I don’t feel comfortable walking the dogs in that area anymore because a few of them will quickly eat things off the ground and I don’t want to know what they might grab before I can do anything about it. As a young woman I feel very unsafe in that area especially when it’s dark outside.

old, but I found out that my new account was messed up and recently had to pay the bills for the last 3 months. my online account was set up to electric instead of natural gas. I recommend calling and asking them to link the account so that you can access the bills to pay them. good luck!

I mean, when I see someone maliciously litter I do wish them harm. Sometimes you have to poop but you can always throw a wrapper away.

Homeless people shitting outdoors isn't a new thing. Armory housing them or not, homeless people have always trashed that park. What can be done about it?

If I've seen human shit there twice in six months in a rainy ass state like Rhode Island how many do you think I didn't see / rain washed away over the period or did I magically see the only 2 ever?

We make some important stuff here, like nuclear submarines.

Ding ding ding!

You point out an issue while also expressing empathy and concern for said issue but immediately branded as a bad guy for the former.

Fine, my post may not be worded perfectly, but if people read into it that I was saying "fuck homeless people, let them freeze and die because I don't like litter litter that they produce" that's on you, not me.

It's a discussion looking for a solution that everyone benefits from

This is assuming I believe OP: it •shouldn’t• be one or the other. But right now, it might be. While state and federal government and NGOs work on bigger solutions, all of us have to set our priorities. Mine is human life over the inconvenience of litter (I’m not saying anything about the shit because I spend plenty of time around the park and haven’t seen any).

The new coat of paint looks awfully goth for Broadway haha, but I'm excited something is going to actually happen there.

> But when it comes down to it, I think we’d all agree that stepping in shit or seeing some garbage is WAY better than even one person freezing to death this winter.

It doesn't need to be one or the other.

OK so not me lol 😅

I had a hacking scare a while back with this account and was was like oh fuck

See the comment directly below this one

>Also, OP says it’s happened twice in six months. The warming station hasn’t been open for six months, so perhaps OP wants to rethink his cause—->effect relationship.

Where are you seeing six months? Unless the OP has edited, the OP's exact words:

"I've had to step over human feces on more than one occasion recently"

I wonder how many Reddit posts it’ll take before the situation is magically fixed

Thank you so much! Sorry new to Reddit and I didn’t mean to impose on your post thought this was just U/Rhodeisland. But good luck with your celebration cheers.

Right. And then you do it again. Sorry for not being clear.

K.

get up off your ass and do something then instead of just being a keyboard commando

you say you are sarcastic but we all know deep down the WBNA is probably very concerned about this.

Is the WBNA a bunch of snooty whites? I really don't know anything about it. I just wanna walk my dog in the neighborhood and park not have to avoid actual shit, broken glass, garbage and crazy/drunk people ... these people need more than a cot thats only available to them from sundown to sunup, they need HELP GETTING OUT OF THIER SITUATION... a warm place to sleep with out offering any other services or resources to them only makes their lifestyle a little more comfortable... please don't misinterpret this as me saying I want them to freeze to death which I'm sure you're all about to jump down my throat about

The streets should be getting cleaner... I actually thought they were for a while until this Amory disaster started and its gotten worse... how long do we sit and watch it get worse and worse but say nothing for fear of our little liberal bubble bursting and being ostracized by our fellow anti-gentrification gentrifiers for pointing out simple facts?

> go out and pick up some trash?

and all the trash will be back in the next day or two.

>Maybe this is confirmation bias at work.

Or, far more likely, denial on your part.

I’m really surprised it took this long for someone to have this complaint. With the WBNA’s track record, the over/under was set at like 2 weeks
