[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sad that I'd actually thought that DCUM would offer some useful perspectives on the article, like it used to in the early years. Unfortunately, this thread is full of drivel and vitriol, like most these days.[/quote]
There are 1-2 posters on this thread who don't want to listen to any opposing viewpoint. When people bring up the quality of life issues that have gotten noticeably worse during the pandemic, they scoff and act smug.

But, what the last couple of generations have shown us is that cities can reach tipping points pretty quickly, if things like crime, homelessness, and bad schools spiral out of control. And, people now have a lot of options as to where they can live and get the "urban" experience in the region. DC is competing for residents with all of the neighboring jurisdictions. And the government and business community is nowhere near as blase about it as some of the fools on this thread. They know the District is facing some hard problems.   [/quote]
