[quote=Anonymous]Before the Control Board, were lots of companies leaving DC? In the 90s there was little remote work and the feds were much more firmly ensconced in DC. Now it is literally hollowing out in multiple senses of the word. Can DC really afford a sizeable underclass that is poorly educated with few to no legal work skills? It seems to be past time to address truancy and to invest resources in catching kids up with basic math and literacy and perhaps expanding resources to learn trades. Breed in SF is talking about drug testing before benefits, like making involuntary commitment easier, another direction of CA that DC would be WISE to emulate. [/quote]
