[quote=Anonymous]We’re a company town. Even the cultural options are government-adjacent. The roadway systems, metro maps, and security zones in place functionally cut off the poorest areas, and those areas a food- and basic-services deserts. Without statehood/funding not dependent on the whims of Congress, there are limited options to do better. This is not a world-class city of interest. DC is actually lovely in NW, but you’ve all swallowed the narrative that it’s a hellhole and out of control because of an incompetent administration. That being said, I would eliminate charter schools. Because we created a system where the wealthy and already educated can game the system for access to schools that do not have to handle all the kids and can kick kids out/not provide necessary services, the schools that are left are hamstrung by having to handle all the most troubled/poorests/least-resourced kids without the commensurate resources to do so.
