[quote=Anonymous]It's not like this is new to DC. Crime was much worst in past decades.  The actual solution is something that is distasteful to most.

Impose limits on welfare because now no one has incentive to ever leave bc if they do they lose very generous benefits they can't get elsewhere.  When you basically decide you are stuck in one place, you tend to ignore a lot of the bad that goes on around you.  It sucks but it is easier to deal with because you can just cobble together a life and you feel like things are ok - not great but not horrible.  If you leave you have to work harder and maybe it won't be as easy to cobble things together and you lose a little of what of you have built up.  So yes, no one wants to live that way with violence but the alternative might be too much complaining and you up end the apple cart and things start to change away from your favor.  When you think about it, how many families who children have been victims of shootings have moved away from their neighborhoods. Sadly there are times they interview families on the news who talk about multiple children or family members being shot but even then they continue to live in the same place, often with young kids with them.

"Last year, DC leaders took the bold step to make this jurisdiction the first in the country to entirely eliminate a harmful time limit that would have permanently cut 10,000 children from assistance. "
