[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have there been efforts by DC to prevent this outcome in recent weeks/days that I may just have missed?

The report I saw was that the DC Council thought that Leonsis was bluffing. [/quote]

Looks like they were wrong. Once again, the DC Council is discovering that a soft on crime approach has consequences. Losing the Caps and the Wizards is disastrous for DC. Gallery Place, which not that long ago was thriving and a fun place to go to, will be totally lost to junkies and criminals. It's a shame. DC came a long way from the crack era. It's sad to see DC descending back into an urban wasteland.

All they need to do is put a couple hundred repeat offenders in prison. Crack down on dumbass teenagers. And DC thrives. But no. The other 700,000 DC residents need to suffer for their stupid equity or restorative justice policies. It's tragic.

Losing the Caps and the Wizards is a colossal blow to city finances. Every day or two there are 25,000 people going downtown and spending money. All gone. With WFH, DC is getting close to entering a death spiral. Already metro is having difficulties because people don't feel safe. Get rid of the criminals and everything is great. But Mayor Bowser and the DC Council have chosen to pursue a dystopia.

It's sad.[/quote]

This doesn't have anything to do with "soft on crime" - that is the cover for Leonsis wanting a $500 million renovation to the arena. Youngkin is giving Leonsis the ranch that will make Monumental that much more valuable at Virginia taxpayer expense.[/quote]
