[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have any other place to admit this - but I’m glad. My car was broken into twice while I was in NOMA. I took a trip to the target in Ivy city and I don’t see the crazy homeless man on the corner who was biting at the wind. If you know you know. I can actually walk to my Whole Foods off P street and not deal with panhandling or men passed out on the street. I hope this enforcement sticks around because the quality of life means more to me than anything. I’ll never admit this to my friends/neighbors but I’m secretly happy they are here. [/quote]

NP.  I'm happy too and I'm not ashamed to admit it!  I'm tired of hearing about people trying to have a good time in NoMa, H ST, U St, Ivy City, Chinatown area and coming back to their cars to see it broken into, I'm tired of seeing cars with their wheels removed sitting on milk crates, I'm tired of seeing all the graffiti, I'm tired of seeing the police look the other way when crime happens right in front of them, I'm tired and sad of all the CVS's that had to close because the city woudn't do anything about the theft, I'm tired of nearly everything being locked up at some of the stores, I'm tired of seeing the unpermitted "vendors" in Columbia Heights, that area is a MESS!!  BTW, the man that was on the corner of NY Ave and 16th St NE near the Target has only been moved.  I saw him last week, but I've forgotten where. I've removed myself from all of my democratic organizations because I want to see real change. Our city leaders and MPD have failed us.  Time for something new.[/quote]

Sounds like you're tired of DC and need to move.[/quote]

Nope.  I love DC!!  I hate the crime.  Both can be true.  I'm not moving.  This is home, I just want it cleaned up a bit.  Those of you that are protesting can't really be happy with all the senseless crime.  Just like he may be trying to own the libs, I believe some of you go against everything just because it's Trump.  I'm having a hard time believing that you are all OK with the crime in this city and don't want someone to try and clean it up.  That blows my mind!

What Trump is doing is not fixing anything.  It's just theater.[/quote]

My hope is that the tone will change. Cops will feel supported to make arrests. The feds will leave. And the city will move back to where it was a few years ago with as much general disorder (extreme shoplifting, flagrant disregard for traffic laws, open pot smoking everywhere, in your face encampments, etc)
