[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha. OP asks question and DCUM first response is "maybe you should get a new job."

OP you are addressing the elephant in the room. DC would like to throw money at contractors and outsource this issue in order to give a level of deniability. Fortunately this means that if you have a great idea and the finds to get it off the ground, you can make some money probably.

Right now the DC solution seems to be, build homeless housing in Ward 3 and problems will go away. What we are not actually addressing the issues? That does not fit the narrative.[/quote]

PP: Well, yes. OP says that their job is getting them down. I have also worked in in a crisis response field in multiple cities. I know how draining it can be — even when it’s work that you enjoy. While talking about change in DC is interesting, my guess is that working for 15 years as a paramedic in many places would be draining. I’m all for positive change in DC,  But I also doubt that the changes in DC would radically change what it’s like to have a crisis-focused job.
