The legacy of Mayor Muriel "Crime for All" Bowser will be losing the Capitals and the Wizards to Virginia and making DC a criminals-friendly city.

Now, she can populate Capital One Arena with drug addicts, vagrants, and persons with mental health problems through his beloved Housing First policy and Section 8 vouchers.[/quote]

Yep.  That is EXACTLY what the area around the Verizon Center/Chinatown was like when I moved to DC in the early 90s.  F Street was a pedestrian mall full of crackheads and their dealers.  
The restaurants down there are driven by office traffic and the Verizon Center.  Office traffic has dropped by 2/3 due to WFH.  Now this.  [/quote]

Well, we all knew that even Connecticut and Wisconsin would run out of room eventually. The policies are drawing vagrants and addicts from across the country, I have heard.

Remember, back then, DC was an extremely cheap place to live, a trade off for the grittiness. Now, insanely overpriced and trending toward dystopian. When Fed leases and commercial leases expire, think how many they can pack in on PERMANENT SUPPORTING HOUSING VOUCHERS, yes, NO plan or requirement to EVER become self sustaining. Doesn't JLG want a safe use drug zone? I'm sure they can fit in some additional illegal weed shops too, it's a big space. Where the $ will come from is the question. The heyday of DC is well in the rearview mirror.

Jealous of Amazon and the VT campus when DC can't even keep kids in school and teach them to read. [/quote]
