Crime has increased significantly in Bloomingdale north of RI Ave. In the past year, in the past few months, and hugely so in the past few weeks.

It's time the community discussed the elephant in the room--the Section 8 housing on W St.

Public housing is essential, but concentrating public housing tenants in large numbers segregated from the rest of the community is a failed model. Integrating individual families who qualify for housing assistance into medium-income apartments and working-class houses eliminates the pathologies created when often troubled individuals are grouped together.

Great...so how do you do this and where does the money come from to do this? It is very easy to make these statements but implementing this is no easy or short task.

Exactly! That's why I raised the issue.

Addressing the situation is going to require a community discussion and community support for achieving it. No one person has the answer. It requires a dialogue and so I am putting it out there in the hope one begins.

mona, It was implemented very well at the Ellen Wilson Projects on Capitol Hill.

It strikes me as rather unfair to imply the recent uptick in crime to a public housing structure that's been there for decades. Has recent arrests shown that they were residents there?

mona said...

Yes I know, I use to live in that part of Capitol Hill. Do you know how long it took to make that work on the Hill? I was almost 10 yrs before it was done

The recent burglaries that were occurring on Adams st were being done by a guy who use to live in the area and had moved to SE. Got that straight from a police officer.
