Ha ha, no. I'm a wealthy liberal who knows how the world works. So, you know, maybe even worse![]()
You know what I would prioritize for DC?
Security.
This means working with surrounding states regarding drug gangs and weapons, and investing a ton into the police force, and doing away with pretend equity concerns when it comes to police work. The majority of residents are black, so obviously the majority of criminals are black. The poor neighborhoods are where crimes happen most, because that's where people have the fewest legal economic opportunities. This also means putting more effort into breaking poverty cycles in the poorer wards. It's hard to keep teens in school when they're violent and no one wants them there, but it's necessary to halt the school-to-hardened-criminal pipeline. We need special schools as a last resort for violent minors before juvie.
The snow plowing is certainly another obstacle for people who can't really afford too many... but in the big scheme of things, not the worse of SE's problems.
