[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is because of the vouchers on Connecticut Avenue. It’s natural that if you import problems, you get problems. This is why that project with converting the Chevy Chase Community Center into housing is not a good one.
The same investment could be made in low-income wards and uplift those communities with higher security, better schools, improved housing, etc. But those areas are left to continue deteriorating and, instead, children are bused into NW DC schools, vouchers are handed out, etc. The Target on Tenleytown no longer admits youths without adult supervision, there have been shoot outs in Conn Ave apartment buildings with vouchers, crime is on the rise in that corridor….including a rape on Woodley Park/Cleveland Park just a few weeks ago? Is DC so blind to see all this?[/quote]

Friendship Heights is not on Connecticut Avenue.

The housing proposed for Chevy Chase is "affordable" which is different than "vouchers" - there is a difference.

Statistically, speaking this will still result in an increase in the average crime rate if the affordable housing unit residents have lower income than the average resident in Chevy Chase. [/quote]
