[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the article and thought "meh." Everything that it reported applies equally to other large cities. [/quote] Except DC is more reliant on commuters than even NYC and doesn't have a state government to fall back on. Also the council just decided to spend all of the money they got from the feds on social spending instead of things that will attract people back into the city like lowering crime.Then you have WMATA hilariously floating proposals to build new metro stations in Georgetown when ridership is at 22% of pre-pandemic levels. They need to start making cuts and quickly otherwise the ones they have to make in 2 years will be even more painful.[/quote] Social spending is the most effective way to lower crime longterm.[/quote]
