[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sick of people saying deteriorating city and the like. I grew up here and the neighborhoods where people complain about crime and they paid whatever price for new builds used to be no go areas. North old town, near Braddock metro, etc. The crimes there were atrocious. The city is vastly improved yet people go one next door and whine incessantly. [/quote] Murders of 17 year old boys is not "whining." It is different crime - organized criminal gangs infiltrating our schools. A beheaded body was dumped at The Pit 4 years ago. A raid by the federal government a few months ago led to 6 MS-13 "king pin" arrests in the City. The City leadership refuses to acknowledge this reality, that is why it is deteriorating. In the years you harken back to, people were not sweeping it under the rug.[/quote] You think ms 13 wasn’t around ten, twenty, thirty years ago? You think wrong [/quote] And Alexandria assisted in enforcing federal immigration laws and there were not 2 million arrivals across the southern border - policies of this City have had a profound negative effect on the schools. The "progressives" of Alexandria cannot talk about our schools deteriorating without indicting the ludicrous "progressive" policies of the City. This includes the large-scale affordable housing projects and guaranteed income to non-citizens.[/quote] Next push will be allowing illegal immigrants in the city the right to vote in local elections. That will basically give the keys to everything to TWU. Can't wait to see our town become like El Salvador.[/quote] Why not give residents who paying city property taxes the right to vote? Many towns do it. Maybe this would lead to a city council and SB willing to put in the investment to build another high school and more middle schools. The scope of what PTAC does May or may not be political but I am hard-pressed to understand why it is on them that a 17 year old kid was brazenly murdered during the day in a location where there would be witnesses and surveillance cameras.[/quote]
