[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that Bowser has done a good job. Dumping the mentally ill into studio apartments with absolutely no case management services benefits no one except the landlords charging the city exhorbitant rents. There is a whole stretch of buildings along Connecticut Avenue---many of which contain fixed income populations---who are experiencing the negative externalities of this ill-considered policy. Drug dealing, fires, criminal behavior---mental illness and substance abuse leading to homelessness are more often than not linked. [/quote] Muriel "half-assed" Bowser is not the answer. Her "solutions" are only surface level and never have the depth needed to effect positive change. Homelessness/housing, schools, pedestrian/bike safety, etc.[/quote]
