[quote=Anonymous]"But the problem then, as now, is that there is just too much concentrated subsidized housing along 14th Street." OP here. I agree with this statement and I'm glad you mentioned Jim Graham because I remember him proclaiming at community events that absolutely none of the subsidized housing would ever go away. People would cheer and I would think, really? It's just too much. I know there is a program that moves families to other parts of the city. The Washington Post has profiles some of these families and found that the adults have a hard time with it but the kids do better. I've reached a point where I focus my energy on helping the kids because I really don't know how to best help the adults so this program sounds good to me. Another PP said the city needs to shut down the drug market as the first step. I would include the gun market. But I think that is more money and resources than the city wants to spend. [/quote]
