[quote=Anonymous]No one is saying it definitely will be or that all voucher recipients are terrible, but that apartment is a potential risk because it can end up with voucher residents, and the city’s complete lack of vetting has lead to the program causing serious problems for many neighborhoods. Even if you completely ignore what the people who live in the Connecticut Avenue apartments have been saying for years, the Post has done a few stories on this problem. Anyone who doesn’t know that it’s an issue hasn’t been paying attention. At this point, anyone saying “Why are people concerned with voucher applicants” are either completely ignorant of what’s happening in this city, or being completely disingenuous.

The worst part is, the city will do nothing to stop it if it starts going out of control. You already have people saying that Ward 3 should have less of a police presence because other parts of the city are safer, and that it’s wrong to give resources to Ward 3 while Ward 8 has even more crime.

Even if there’s a 1 in 5 chance that voucher residents could cause problems in the new development, why would anyone take that chance? The mess that city leadership has made across the city gives people zero faith that any changes they make will be for the better.[/quote]
