[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that Bowser's main impetus to close DC General isn't to enhance services for homeless families?  (The mayor has yet to explain how DC will deliver services more capably and efficiently on a vasty decentralized basis when it was incapable of delivering them in one principal location.)  No, the main reason, dear readers, is that Bowser's developer cronies want to redevelop the DC General property for upscale housing and mixed-use.  [/quote]

And why is that necessarily a bad thing?   It is a big piece of under utilized property that hosted a poorly functioning shelter.  Fix the shelter and redevelop the property - seems like a win win to me?[/quote]

Win for the cronies and perhaps a win for the mayor whose nest they feather.  Perhaps not such a win-win for homeowners in McLean Gardens and Idaho Ave.  Whether it's a win for the homeless depends on how well DC scales poor services that it couldn't deliver in one location to eight separate locations.[/quote]
