[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Andrew A. Black has a lengthy criminal history on DC Superior Court website, did not check elsewhere. Dozens of cases since he was 18 including a felon in possession of weapon that was plead very recently. Guess he violated the terms of that.

Per DC government records he lives in NW DC but NOT in Forest Hills.[/quote]

By all means, sign him up for a free apartment with lots of elderly people and children in the building.[/quote]

Again, he does not live in Forest Hills, but elsewhere in NW. Since DC allows felons to vote, his address is readily available re: voter rolls. MPD said he has an "association" with Saratoga as did victim, none of the 3 lives there, in Brandywine, etc. at the meeting Frumin had. [/quote]

This makes it even worse. The whole neighborhood is going to sht and not just the voucher buildings.[/quote]

All rental buildings throughout DC are required by law to accept vouchers, many condo owners who lease units also participate.

The concentration of very large apartment buildings close together on Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues makes the issues, er, more visible, but it's not confined to a few buildings in NW by any means.

Of course, people associate with others, perhaps from former neighborhoods, relationships, family members, host, etc. Some may hang out in nearby parks with friends, family and associates and some may find the large building populations provide possible economic opportunities, esp since work, school, sobriety and treatment are not required, leaves a lot of free time, potentially. So, someone at The Saratoga had 3 men in unit who then walked out the side door and one was shot by another. More info will be available after the hearing.

DC Government really needs to be leaned on to pull vouchers or for landlords to be barred from program more readily. Of course, landlords need to be able to adequately screen and to evict in less than a year if dangerous, Frumin is pushing for later, the former needs to be a focus as well imo.

Pinto's bill, if passed as drafted, would include [b]random searches of those arrested for gun crimes[/b] who are released on supervision. She based it on a CA law, it would provide an enforcement mechanism. [/quote]

This is likely unconstitutional and will make its way to the Supreme Court, just like DC's last handgun bill. [/quote]
