[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work with DCHFA and DCHD. The neighborhood off of S Capitol St, SW across from Nats Park (3rd base side) has the worst Section 8 in the city. It is so bad that the DC Government actually sued the housing authority over its lack of oversight and being complicit in not enforcing laws and allowing violent crimes to spiral out of control (gun related, drugs, trafficking). Around James Creek. I cannot believe they built luxury apartments now right around there and people just have no idea what they’re walking into. https://oag.dc.gov/release/ag-racine-sues-dcha-endangering-thousands-tenants[/quote] I agree that's a rough neighborhood, but if you really work on housing policy how do you not know James creek, syphax, and carrolsburg are public housing not section 8? I would still rather live there than Bellevue or Wellington park though because at least you're close to the metro and more jobs and the schools are better.[/quote]
