[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is that the folks who own property in DC and shoulder the tax burden don’t want poor public schools and crime. Nothing like your car stolen while you take your groceries in the house! Not to mention the continuous messaging of anti-wealth and “privileged” be damned is leading the city into placating folks who are all about equity - until the check comes due - which is a failing city.[/quote] Tony Williams brought vibrancy and development to downtown DC. I disagree with Michelle Rhee, but school reform AND the charter movement (2 separate movements with different ideologies, that happened at the same time) brought more dynamic choice to a failing school system and lured families back in. Gentrification and the tail end of imprisoning a lot of the crack war folks brought lower crime. The 90s were good to DC. "Reform" + "Equity" may be what's next, but they should build on these successes-not squander it and become SF of the East.[/quote]
