It's not that it can't, it's just that it
doesn't want to because they can't acknowledge Part 1 of the problem...like an alcoholic, that there IS a problem.
As many (Democrat) posters have finally acknowledged on here, Democrat policies have set DC on crime fire, like all other blue cities. But until the voters rationally swallow their pride and vote Republican, this wont change. The evidence is NYC going from Dinkins and others to Rudy Giuliani and Bloomberg.
When you buy a fixer upper house, do you half ass it and still leave it mostly a mess? No.
DC Democrats want to have "other" Democrats, which would be just half-assing it (at best) when DC and all these cities need a complete overhaul for true, noticeable change. Until they actually make changes, like a drug addict or alcoholic completely eliminating the substance, it will look the same. You voted for it and/or accept it.
