[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live near 14th and U.  OP is laser focused on one particularly bad - and notorious - corner of a single block and generalizing about the whole city on that basis.  Pretty ridiculous.  [/quote]
No. The OP is asking how the city can allow such a bad situation to occur in that area. It’s a fair question. [/quote]

It’s a big city.  It’s one corner.  It’s slated for massive redevelopment.  How’s that for an answer?[/quote]
Why was it allowed to fester for years and why does it need to wait years to fix? [/quote]

Blah blah blah.  Just avoid the neighborhood if you can’t take the bad with the good.  More room for the rest of us.  [/quote]

You know, I'm a DC native (EOTR), and I love the city. But damn if I don't hate the attitude that you're just supposed to put up with the bad parts.[/quote]

No one is saying that.  I’m just pointing out that OP literally fixated on the worst corner in the whole neighborhood, literally, and painted the whole city with her ridiculous observation.  Yes, it’s a bad corner.  That’s the only reason she was able to find a parking spot near there.  And my point in response is that yes, it’s a bad corner, but they’re about to clean it up and turn it into a show piece. [/quote]

PP's exact words:

[b]Just avoid the neighborhood if you can’t take the bad with the good.[/b]

Certainly seems to imply you're just supposed to take it.[/quote]
