[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Cleaning up the city would be a godsend. The amount of graffiti, trash, and tent compounds as one enters from 50/66 is shocking. As someone who's lived here since the 1990s, I can confidently say it never used to be this way. DC is a national embarrassment, and it doesn't take a genius to understand the root cause which shall not be named here because of the knee-jerk liberal reaction to telling the truth.[/quote] It's not just the city - drive into NoVA and things look decreipt. Weeds growing through concrete on major roads, including 66, 495, 28, and the Fairfax County Parkway. Bags of garbage strewn on the side of the road that take weeks to clean up, if they are at all. Potholes, uneven pavement. Growing crime (mostly catalytic converter thefts and break ins) and homelessness in neighborhoods that used to be crime free. We look like a nation in decline.[/quote] Not to mention the for-profit "beggars" at every intersection who are dropped off and picked updaily by their employers, or who drive themselves in the new cars to their preferred sites, while the County does nothing to discourage the practice. [/quote] Sadly I’ve observed this. They get handed their signs, so it’s not theirs. But… I’ve also talked to one of them… seems like a nice guy… but clearly active delusions and mental illness that someone is exploiting. [/quote]
