[quote=Anonymous]DCUM anonymous posters love to talk in terms of black and white (Not talking race here). You cannot mention density without he NIMBY crowd going apoplectic and you cannot talk historical without the Density crowd calling everybody racist. This city needs more moderate thinkers from both sides of the spectrum to sit down and hash things out logically. Guess what, we can get both smart growth (not the density websites who camouflage themselves with the word smart) and preserve green space and SFH's. We can have both increased police funding and presence and...guess what...more social services and counselors.

Why do we have to shout "defund the police" simply to be heard today?

Homicide, auto theft and even car jackings have been up since the spring. Why? Because of reduced police presence and lack of prosecution. Simple as that. With the reduction of police on the street, how many additional counselors are on the streets? How many has the city hired since July. Oh that was not the plan? What is the plan then? Wishful thinking. Figure out how to call it a property crime which the city does not count as a real crime. Look at the NW DC list serves over the last week. Video tapes of the same guy trying house doors and windows and breaking in...and getting arrested...and simply getting released and breaking into new houses a week later. Why would he stop?

OP. Great idea. Good luck. Maybe the city can hire you to run the program. I am sure that they have no interest in proactive city programming.[/quote]
