[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we did a ton of work to get Franklin Park like it is.   And to add tourist destinations (word museum) and micro-hotel units (moxy etc) to this area.  Then the city killed every bit of progress by ignoring and encouraging crime.   Without fixing the crime, all that we have done will go to waste.  Clearly you are not walking around every day and night if you aren’t experiencing the hellscape feeling.  [/quote]

Who is "we"? If you haven't been here at least 30 years or are not a native with references being two Congressmen/women, a picture your wall with Marion Barry and a police report of being robbed, you didn't put any work in: Sorry to break it to ya, but you're not qualified for real city living![/quote]

Some of us have been.   I am one.   I have personally worked extremely hard for this city.   I have lived downtown for thirty years, and it disgusting how much the city no longer even cares.  Those of you who come to this neighborhood occasionally don’t get how bad it has become.   It is worse than 1995, by far.  [/quote]
