[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids are basically living in a war zone, statistically. They've never been very far out of their neighborhood, let alone the Smithsonians. They are locked up and go right back to crime because that is their life. P.S. there's not that much going on at the rec centers

You’ve basically made the case for less subsidized public housing in cities. Look at Potomac Gardens in Capitol Hill. So much crime on an otherwise nice area caused by that development. Or anywhere else for that matter. You’re going to see a ton of crime once Reservation 13 and its 2/3 ultra low AMI housing set aside are built. It sucks. I don’t get the self flagellation about this. Let the market work the way it should and those who can’t pay just move to where they can and let neighborhoods rise. Or just allow some market rate, but not so much of a subsidized amount of units. I am not going to argue with people about this. It’s just a fact. And we’ll keep have naive or obstinate bleeding heart SJW types on Facebook neighborhood groups trying to shame anyone who posts about it in like 10 years once it all comes to fruitiruon. The simplest thing is to just to let developers develop the area organically.[/quote]
