[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can’t get my head around the fact that DC is using the Saratoga for housing homeless people. MANY middle class Ward 3 residents would love to be able to afford to live in a building that nice. What about the rest of us?[/quote] Maybe fewer would like to live in The Saratoga these days. That a man with decades of violent felonies and dv would have an electronic key, despite not being a resident, is chilling. That he shot someone just outside at 3 on a Saturday afternoon is becoming the new normal. Those who do not want to move especially with current interest rates, frame this as a "renters problem." Without stakeholders with clout and large numbers of nearby residents, both renters and homeowners, there is no chance of influencing DC policy. A lot of voucher holders move out of Saratoga, Brandywine and Connecticut House fairly quickly I'm told, they know better than to minimize the safety issues. [/quote]
