But I'm now ashamed to bring visitors to parts of the city that used to be wonderful, and I won't let my teenagers roam the way that I used to.
I despise Trump and everything he stands for. My wish is that our mayor and Council could finally be threatened enough by this administration to do what's right. I spend a lot of time in San Francisco which has fallen even farther than DC has. But that's the depths to which we're headed and we're not far from it.
When a homeless guy set up a tent village in our Ward 3 residential neighborhood the police would do nothing. In fact, service providers were sent out regularly to make sure he was “comfortable.” Our councilman was of course also useless. Eventually a major storm blew through and wrecked his camp and he moved on, but the trash remained. This city coddles criminals and homeless over the rights of taxpayers. It’s completely dystopian.
