Mind boggling how any DC resident can keep voting for the same and expect better outcomes.  What’s the definition of insanity again?  Watch, in 2024 DC voters will prob triple down on this catastrophe.  The district is now a total loss.  At this point, the only solution is to try to wall it off so that their crime infested island doesn’t spill over to areas around them.

And to think, they argue they have the mental capacity to be a state when they can’t even do one of the very basic duties of govt, which is to ensure public safety and law and order.

R.I.P. H street. [/quote]

Everything is apparently not at all fine with you, OP. I'm sorry. I hope you are able to get the help you need.[/quote]

Same here. Hate to see it. [/quote]

Op is fine.

I grew up in DC. I miss the Fenty years. Honestly, the only reason the city improved is because of developers and growth.

We’re now in a strange post George Floyd years where the loudest social grievance peddlers control the agenda and, in the amorphous name of “equity”, have cowed the city council into implementing lenient, slap on the wrist, catch and release, progressive criminal justice reform policies to attempt to tackle crime. They definitely keep people out of jail as intended. The DA not prosecuting 67% of crimes in 2022 also helps with that.

In reality, leniency combined with increased telework affecting the city’s coffers is bad. Also, all the landlords on H Street are fkwits. You think renters are going to pay 20k or more a month to rent your 20foot wide Class C little boutique rowhouse to build the next Granville Moore’s? No dude. Landlords need to be flexible and not leave boarded up buildings because no one can justify the rent.[/quote]
