[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in college and the clubs were there, we used to pay people to watch our cars. This used to be real rough. The bougie stuff is a cresting wave than will fall back[/quote]

To some extent, but the stadium brought in some expensive buildings and stores. Unfortunately, it’s still very poor in surrounding areas and some of those people are criminals and rob stores and have shoot outs. Non criminals got soooked and left. [/quote]

Good thing D.C. replaced so many MPD police officers with paid “violence interrupters.”   :roll: [/quote]

DC partially defunded the MPD and funneled that budget money into DC Councilman Trayon White’s corruption scheme:

1. Your article says absolutely nothing about DC "defunding the police," because it didn't happen.

2. DC did not replace and MPD officers with violence interrupters. In fact, MPD is desperately trying to increase the number of MPD officers and is fully funded to do so including offering significant hiring bonuses. The issue is not that MPD doesn't have the money or is firing officers, they're just not getting enough applicants.

3. DC didn't know the contractors being paid were corrupt at the time of payment, and after they learned about the corruption they took all the steps they could to ensure no more money would go to the corrupt contractors. Your article literally says this which makes me question if you even read the article as opposed to making up a premise, googling it, and pasting the first link that you saw.  [/quote]
