The councilman in the news segment is probably working to get investment and jobs into his district. But why would any private investment move forward when a long standing existing business there is bleeding to death?

If that store closes, that access to fresh fruit vegs./fruit is gone and so are the jobs. And future investment and development that could bring more jobs and goods/services is gone also.

For the lurkers

Cities will always have crime. Society will always have crime. There will always be an element out there that wants the easy life. Wants to do ill . There will always be murder, rape, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, etc. ALWAYS. Even happens under democratic socialism, socialism, and communism. If anything there is increased police presence, more ofa police state. ... But I'm off on a tangent.

Like I was saying, these issues are bigger than DC can handle.

They opened some specialty retail by the Mystics stadium.


This is about 3 blocks from the Giant that will be closing. No signage. Not visible from the main street (Alabama). Mostly retail. High end retail at that.. The food options are barely available via apps.

These places won't last, even if the rent was free.

The jobs created, if any, are retail, food prep and food service. Those aren't good jobs.

Muriel and Trayon want the community to get hype about this?

I'm not sure what government can really do here. I'm not sure what this administration can do specifically. They seem to have zero imagination, zero vision, no economic training, no sociology training....

What every hood, (and trailer park - cause we out in the sticks too) needs is no skill/low skill but living wage jobs. St Elizabeth's should become a defense contractor site, not "mixed use" development. Uniforms, body armor, boots, drones, something...

These cities have to start somewhere, though. That link says that part of the space will serve as a business incubator for local entrepreneurs. Wouldn't you consider that a step in the right direction? Directing resources to help local businesses grow and scale?
In the meantime, they have to try to contain crime so that existing businesses stay open, and they can attract more businesses. Area has to stabilize before you can realitistically try to attract large scale manufacturer to set up there. Or any other type of business that would have positions paying higher wages/salary.

How does this crime bill compare to the original rejected one?

99% of the people complaining about "tHe cRiMe biLL" don't actually know the answer to this question.

This is why they won't offer any tweaks to it (like lower sentences for non-violent offenders). And they don't acknowledge that a significant amount of black people who actually lived with the rampant crime were the ones demanding the bill. And they don't acknowledge that the bill kicked off a huge decline in violent crimes.

They'd just rather throw the baby out with the bathwater, pat themselves on the back, then walk away. And the saddest part? The vast majority of the victims of these crimes are other black people.

But nobody on any side cares about black victims, just black criminals.

I have said in thread after thread that some dudes like jail. Otherwise why do they keep doing shyt to go back. So jail is not a deterrent for them. I say give them what they like which will protect the greater society from their dangerous asses.

My problem is with the punk ass parents who have abandoned their duties to raise their juvenile children to be responsible law abiding citizens. It is time that society comes down like a ton of bricks on those parents. Those parents need to be forced to pay for their children crimes, upto and including doing jail time for child neglect and for the criminal offenses committed by their children. Those parents also need to be barred from receiving public assistance, pubic housing, Medicaid and all government assistance until they take and graduate from approved parenting classes.

That councilman is likely born and raised in DC, probably 6th generation family there. Certain he knows the full details of the history and social conditions. And that he's tried to direct and distribute resources to residents. He is calling out the bottom feeders who want to take shortcuts. And by HIM doing it, it calls BS on the ones who don't acknowledge that element.

There is a lowlife element that will always take shortcuts rather than earning an honest living. Have to jail and remove as many of them from communities before they victimize more people and ruin the quality of life for the regular residents.

If that store closes, that access to fresh fruit vegs./fruit is gone and so are the jobs. And future investment and development that could bring more jobs and goods/services is gone also.
The few will ruin things for the many. Have to prevent that from happening. No other way around it.
