[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would DC ‘improve’ less liberal?

Our liberalism has gotten:

- Universal Pre-School
- Universal Paid Leave
- New Mom UBI Pilot
- Free Public Transportation for Kids
- Highest LEED Environmental certification in the country
- Extremely high percentage of commerce and mixed used development 
- Universal public testing and vaccination for a pandemic
- Highest levels of protections for residents in a pandemic including moratorium laws and vaccine passports

Meanwhile our neighbors just got stripped of a mask mandate. I love DC. [/quote]

You can also boast of

- universal preschool and Fred transportation because you have so many parents who cannot parent or pay for kids 
- commercial section that is dying on the vine and resultant loss of tax revenue and retail that is fleeing
- are you sure that the new mom program is not a guaranteed payment to low income moms  rather than universal to all moms
-LEED certifications just mean empty office buildings are cheaper to run until they default 
- thousands of cases of Covid and 1300 deaths so you need public testing and vaccinations
- highest levels of protections for those who adhere to the moratoria and vaccine passports

Not having a mask mandate doesn’t mean you cannot wear one.

As a fifth generation Washingtonian, I also live Washington (we don’t call it “DC”) bit excusing the city’s problems like homicides, violent crimes, and a high poverty is not cured by free bus rides.
