Spreading it around just spreads it around. It won't fix or even dilute the root problem.

25% public housing in a building is going to destroy the value of the other 75%

You forgot gangs and drugs, debt to gangs for drugs, and gang territory for drugs.

Road diets are a far higher priority for the city than gun violence in substandard public housing. Didn’t ya’ll get Justin’s memo?

Voters must like what they voted for, just like Baltimore.

Marginalized by whom? Victim or the predator?

The root cause is men who think that guns and violence are a way to solve all conflicts, whether via warning shots or shooting people.
The root cause is the people that live there.

Bring back the jump-out gangs. They were pretty successful back in the late 80’s and as a result, APD almost always got their man.

Fourth shooting at Andrew Adkins Public Housing (Braddock Road Metro - Alexandria).
Of course the root cause is not enough BBQs.
Maybe the police chief and city council will move the block party to the middle of the street.
On the plus side, the townhouses on Madison across the street to this shooting gallery are a bargain.
