We already know how to prevent this, Congress, our leaders, and the NIMBY brigade simply don't have the will to do anything about it.

Legalize all drugs
Equally distribute Section 8, Inclusionary Zoning, homeless shelters, halfway houses, and all other subsidized units in all wards of the city
Stop incarcerating people for nonviolent crimes and instead sentence them to mandatory employment at a living wage performing city services such as picking up litter
Eliminate single family zoning
Provide financial incentives for parents of students performing at or above grade level in school
Increase funding for UDC and prioritize hiring that will put it on par with UMD/UVA
Legislate minimum 3 weeks paid leave for all employees working in DC.
End the revolving door prison system for violent offenders
Free childcare for residents under a certain income threshold
Free detox/rehab for anyone convicted of crimes involving hard drugs
Tie minimum wage to inflation and median housing costs

Violence happens because idle, uneducated people compete for resources. People become idle and uneducated because their parents aren't involved in their life and education. Parents aren't involved in their life and education because they can't afford to, because they weren't educated, because they are addicted to drugs, etc. Fixing this issue requires a holistic approach that will be extremely expensive and take generations to fully realize, but there's no other way. Sadly this will never happen but hey, maybe instead we'll just push all the poor people to PG county and they won't be our problem anymore!

That's a wonderful list, PP.

I like it too. Very actionable.and will add research back-up that many of these policies actually work!

I think the US is associated with gun violence and peoole done tealize how many stabbings we have. Its a problem. Yes, like England.

Stabbings are only fatal in extremely rare circumstances. Gunshots are usually lethal.

Go F yourself gun nutter.

NP. Might want to educate yourself on guns and knives before you embarrass yourself even more.

What does “eliminate single family zoning” mean and look like? Genuinely curious.

Facial scars
Sagging face
Blindness
Limited use of hands
Emotional distress/PTSD

Results don't have to be fatal.

The end of single family zoning is exactly that. Progressives feel that people should not own land that could be used for high density housing and will rezone or never designate areas for sfh again.

Single family homes are the new disease plaguing society. It’s all the rage, just ask MoCo county council member Will Jawando.

If your dream is to have a home with a backyard and picket fence In particular near public transportation, forget it. The Dear leaders are busy at work telling us all how And where we All need to live.

Oh, now I get it. The H in H street stands for “homeless” and attempted “homicide”. Got it.

“Legalizing all drugs” — all of them, the fentanyl-laced weed, the synthetic brain-melting tabs from China l — will improve the lives of men with schizophrenia living on the street? Ok

[Anonymous]

Ugh, too much vagrancy without any consequences. We actually need more (smart) policing so everyone can feel safe.

+1

Somehow, the progressives and the development $$$ crowd have become one and the same. Kind of like the two foot pigs + two foot humans in animal farm.

Does that mean the value of my current SFH will go up?

It's actually an incredibly Libertarian policy that progressives realize is one of their few good ideas.

Eliminating single family zoning does not in any way mean you can't own a single family home with a picket fence and a backyard. It simply means that if you own land you can legally build a duplex, set of rowhouses, or apartment building on that land provided it fits on your property within reasonable setbacks, which is currently illegal in huge areas of DC. If you want to keep your land as a single family home, you can certainly do that.

I would have thought this was incredibly obvious, but of course NIMBYs and regressives will find any excuse, no matter how tenuous or simply false, to feel persecuted.

You do realize that mandatory SFH zoning is actually the government telling you how and where to live right? SFH zoning isn't some naturally occurring thing, or happens because "Dear leaders" decided to make it happen.

If it would make you feel better about your nonsense fearmongering we could carve out an exemption. Of course it would be wholly unnecessary because

1. They are already getting those drugs while they are illegal so nothing would change except

2. Most illegal dealers would be put out of business because who would buy sketchy laced weed from an illegal dealer when guaranteed clean drugs are available at every corner store and pharmacy plus

3. Even if it did make things worse for a tiny group of people the benefits would far outweigh those negatives.

But of course you knew all that and you never actually cared about those people, you just fear change and have an illogical puritan aversion to drugs (well, at least the kind of drugs that aren't already legal that are actually more dangerous than many illegal drugs) so you'll grasp at any straw that maintains your fragile worldview.

You realize that inmates in prison are already given "mandatory employment" at pennies per hour, right? This would be a vast improvement over the current system.

So, in other words, force all middle and upper class families out of the city? That'll do a number on the budget.
