[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kojo does such a good job of bringing DC problems to the forefront. Today he had the acting director of DC housing on the show taking about the 10,000 people on the waiting list for public housing.  He also pointed out the list dated from Muriel Bowser's first term.

The acting is trying outreach to people on the rolls and has about a 20% response rate.  She admits many people don't want the offered apartments for reasons, but the principal one is crime.  She gamely tried to claim that the public housing buildings have less crime than the rest of the city, but that is not saying much.

If they can't even house people in need, how can they run a state?[/quote]

It is well known that none of the states have any problems housing people in need.[/quote]

Ha seriously.  DC should be a state because its citizens should have the right to self govern.  All states have homeless people, crime, car crashes, hunger, death, gun issues etc and none f them are subject to statehood tests.  [/quote]

There is a difference between a right to self govern and an ability to self govern.[/quote]
