[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I feel like we are living through a revival of the Marion Barry 1980s and 90s with a DC Government that is completely dysfunctional with respect to crime, such that businesses and middle class residents---who returned to the city during 1996 through 2018---will again retreat to safer environs.    All these ridiculous progressives on the DC Council have no idea what DC was like then but I remember.  The area around the Verizon Center was a pedestrian mall filled with nothing but druggies, their dealers, and muggers.  H Street and 14th Street were still largely boarded up from the 1967 riots.  On Capitol Hill, it wasn't safe to go north of E Street or east of Lincoln Park.  Forget about being safe in Shaw, or the Eckington/Union Market area.  It took 20 years for Marion Barry to drive the city so far into dysfunction that it had to be taken over by a Control Board.  So we probably have 15 more years of this to go, unfortunately.[/quote]
