[quote=Anonymous]Those committed to making it a DSA "utopia" seem to be in charge. Those committed to reestablishing safety and QOL, say at 2016 levels, seem to be on the back foot. The later are the majority of the public, but electeds don't seem to be responsive to that group.

There are natives and non-natives in both groups. A more useful metric may be people who intended to stay in DC long term vs. those here for a shot time.

Some transplants on the Council seem to see DC as some sort of "Lab" for ideology,, no matter how many back bodies, including those of children pile up in the street. Instead of sending a clear message re: crime and safety, as Baltimore has done, they elevate murderers to roles in the CJS. The USA is one of the weakest prosecutors in the entire nation and the AG fancies himself a social worker.

It's possible to care about DC from afar while valuing your safety and that of your family. That is where we and several neighbors seem to have landed.

DC is not even close to bottoming out and making serious changes, despite @dccrimefacts click bait headline. By the time Pinto's bill passes, it will be even further watered down and neutered. These are not serious people making serious changes. More businesses will leave, CRE will implode and DC will reset to the 80s in many ways...Chasing West Coast policies that those cities have pulled back on. [/quote]
