Because only Nazis let homeless people take hard drugs and sleep in tents on the street, right?

I remember when Dems were the ones who wanted to involuntarily commit mentally unstable people and Reagan was the one emptying them onto the streets.

Letting homeless people sleep and OD on the streets is not “progressive.” It is libertarian and anarchist.

No nazis round up people for existing without due process.

We have. That's why we are concerned.

Agree. I live in DC with my kids. It isn’t a crime ridden hellhole as conservative media and Trump paint it. Friends live on the block where Big Balls was attacked. There is rarely crime there.

What?

I live in Shaw. There is such an unacceptable amount of crime here -- drug markets and people tweaking out, shootings, etc. it's real. No one in our neighborhood is unscathed -- everyone, including me, has a story about burglary, mugging, carjackings, witnessing people getting beat up.

There was a moment in 2012/2014 when i felt safe, but that's not true any more. It's slightly better than 2021 but it is still unacceptable. Whenever I leave and visit cities that are actually safe, I feel crazy for staying here.

We can't turn our knee-jerk anti Trumpism into a blindness about this problem.

I could have written most of this. I’m more toward Logan though. But I would say it was going all up until 2019. Then we cut off the police like morons who don’t understand how cities work.

Having grown up in capital city in Europe, I think all large cities have a certain baseline of crime that's hard to reduce. The difference in the US is the GUNS. It's one thing to see druggies and knives, quite another to be collateral damage in a gang shootout. The homicides are nearly all gun homicides. Gun control should be the absolute number one priority in keeping populations safer in the US.

The average murder suspect in this city had previously been arrested 11 times. Think about that for a moment. The police don't bother arrested many people, but somehow the typical murder suspect did something to get themselves arrested 11 times. And they were then let go 11 times before they killed somebody. That speaks to a serious problem and maybe the city should kinda, sort try to fight crime, especially when everyone knows that if they don't, then Trump is going to do something crazy.

We have a housing crisis. We have an expensive healthcare system tied to employment with limited mental health services. We fail to see addiction as a disease and view it as a moral failure.

No, we do not have a "housing crisis." We have vacancies in every city, everywhere. And even if we did not, new housing could be built easily and quickly.

What we have is a lack of will to say, you will not live on public streets, infringing on everyone else's right to safety and to enjoy parks, etc. If you do not have your own home, or a relative to take you in, you will be moved to a facility. End of discussion.

Addiction is not a disease. It does not develop out of nowhere. It is the result of substance use and abuse.

Thanks for admitting that you are a liar!

Are you new or is your head in the sand? Sure, Swann street doesn’t have a ton of crime but one block over on R between 14th and 15th is a war zone and always has been.

You are naive. Democrats don’t even punish thugs caught with illegal guns.

Well they only have (and use) the guns because they were brought up poorly, so they can’t be stopped or punished. Woke is stupider than maga and I’m a life long democrat. I just use my brain instead of virtue signaling.

I agree. And we need to see that some people need to be committed to inpatient treatment and mental hospitals even if they don’t want to be. This was 100% a Democrat position. It was right wingers like Ronald Reagan who wanted crazy drug addicts out on the street.

So please spare me with this Nazi comparison. Right wingers are the ones who started this crisis in the 1980s. Dems need to go back to how they were in the 80s and stop being so soft on homelessness and crime as well.

Where do you think they’re going to be committed?! Most facilities have long waitlists.

If they can't afford to pay rent then where should they live.

I'm a christian so I feel they should be housed, and kept safe by society. But we don't live in a Christian nation.

Thank dog.

I am not blind. I just have not experience any crime beyond porch pirates. I feel safe enough to walk my puppy alone at night/early morning. There is very little crime in my area of DC.

How about putting DC’s “youth offenders” to hard work filling potholes, removing trash and scrubbing graffiti?! Having them wear conspicuous jumpsuits would be a deterrent to others.

However will these youths find the time to ride dirt bikes and go car jacking if they are too tired from manual labor? Won’t someone think of the children!?!?
