[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a fan of Jack Evans but he is likely right about this. SO much positive momentum being reversed, deliberately, by city leadership. They act like the revenue will just keep flowing no matter how bad things get, they don't value business and they don't value the commitment those of us who have lived here and paid taxes for decades have made. Instead, the commercial corridors are turned into private public housing and homes for the mentally ill, addicted and formerly incarcerated. Schools are in decline and they don't even address truancy that is close to 90% in some schools. The laxity re: juvenile crime has lead to historic levels of shot and killed black kids. I can't even say it's akin or Nero fiddling while Rome burns, this low energy crowd couldn't muster the energy for that.

So true.  Mayor "Crime for All" Bowser was so focused on her Section 8 "welcoming" voucher program and a pie-in-the-sky effort to lure the Commanders to DC, that she didn't take seriously the real threat that the Caps and Wizards would leave.  And the arena is a far more significant economic engine that an occasional use-NFL stadium ever would be.  Heck, Bowser didn't even make a play to keep the FBI in Washington, like at Poplar Point or St Elizabeths, when the FBI leadership didn't really want to leave DC.  Bowser is a dumb failure.[/quote]
