[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously…a commanders player was shot multiple times tonight and an attempted robbery or car jacking. What??[/quote]

One of THREE shootings on H Street NE this weekend, two of which occurred in broad daylight. Incredibly depressing (I live in the neighborhood). I hope Robinson is okay and I also hope his high profile draws the needed attention to this problem. This is not okay.[/quote]

Everyone in the neighborhood needs to email Charles Allen. He’s head of the Judiciary Committee and he’s constantly making things worse. He needs to hear from constituents that real steps need to be taken to address violent crime in the neighborhood (not his bullsh*t violence interruptors that don’t work). [/quote]

DC needs to deal with the crime problem soon because WFH is going to make things so much worse.  It’s coming, like a tidal wave on the horizon.[/quote]

Are you saying that crime has gotten more flagrant because suburbanites don't have to come into DC and there is no need to protect them-- or anyone else?[/quote]

The other problems: Carjackings, petty thefts, homeless encampments, open drug use can be dealt with by updating the criminal code or changing political leadership.  They are ephemeral.  WFH is a permanent, existential problem.  No matter how bad things got in 1980s and 1990s, DC could always count on the daily commuters and a steady influx of young people relocating to DC for work.  Now DC will have to figure out how to get by without them.  Because this is the new normal and they’re not coming back.  DC will have to make itself a nice city to live in [i]for its own sake[/i].[/quote]
