Home Rule has nothing to do with the feds dragging their feet on DC crime prosecution. The problem is literally the feds and you want them to have MORE control?

This is all about Republicans trying to get rid of DC's electoral college votes. Mark my words: that is the agenda.

Presumably you believe in statehood and home rule, but here you are trying to claim that the Feds are responsible for DC crime. If that’s what you want, I am sure that the Trump administration and Republican Congress will be happy to deliver.

DP...the US Attorney has oversight to prosecute crime in DC, not the DC Attorney General. two different offices, the latter is local, the former is Federal. see the problem?

That's what you assume. He is almost 80, making DC great again could be his legacy. DC should look like capital of a superpower.

This. Currently the first thing people see after they cross the bridges and emerge from the tunnels even into the premium neighborhoods around Georgetown and near our National Mall are tent compounds.

DC Council can’t manage the city. In part because they’re incompetent but more so because they are self-interested. They repealed their own term limits so now it’s all about holding onto that paycheck and those bribes and not about DC at all

So much this. They need to be unseated. It would benefit the entire city.

It shows the fatigue all cities are experiencing with petty crime, which is spilling out into the suburbs. Repealing cash bail, setting minimums for retail theft all contributed in some way, but it's going to take dedicated, continuous enforcement of laws to deter petty crime. The so-called progressive approach to crime has done so much more harm than good and the results of this last election show how tired people are of this approach and the fallout we've been seeing from it.

Agreed. If it was a vote of the American people, reproductive rights would pass in every state, violent crime would be persecuted and harshly punished every time, violent undocumented immigrants immediately deported, and legal immigration would be made easier than illegal immigration (sadly has been the reverse for many decades), and we would have strict regulations for clean air and clean water, and there would be common sense laws regarding guns and ammunition. Most people are in favor of all of this.

The Federal government neither writes the laws, controls the police, nor nominates the judges. If you want to make the Federal government responsible for DC crime, then you will need to cede to them full authority over DC crime.

Now you are talking! This is something everyone world get behind(well except the DC crime stats guy). The territories do pay federal taxes. Maybe exempt business from corporate taxes if they are registered or HQs are located in DC.

The Height act is stupid. It traps DC in to medium density where services like public transportation, policing, fire & rescue, etc. are difficult to provided adequately because the tax base does not support it. DC is too dense not to have these services but not dense enough to afford to fund the services adequately.
Also stand on K street and 19th street and tell me what exactly what the Height limit is accomplishing? Protecting the shared views? Go to Wisconsin and Western Avenue one side of the street has 30 story buildings and on the other side of the street the buildings are limited in height. What’s is the point?

The federal government literally nominates the judges.

Y'all are some serious bootlickers.

I saw that the other week. It really does look terrible.

I would want Trump to pleasantly surprise DC by improving its livability which clearly dems can't do.

What’s crazy is that NPS predicted that closing the parkway would have these types of negative impacts from people and the progressive screamed that it couldn’t be worse than cars. Now here we are and the answer is yes, yes it can.
