Not as planned, but as expected by anyone with common sense.
The curse of high intelligence is having to watch the morons try everything that you know won't work.
If you could somehow make them understand that they are morons, they might listen to the more intelligent, but the curse of the morons is that they don't know they're morons.
Gentrification just moves the problem to a different neighborhood. Better off just putting up a fence around the bad areas.
They’re doing a version of this in schools, too, where they dump 8 or 9 Special Ed kids into the regular classroom, add one RSP teacher to “help” them, and then the regular teacher has to try and teach them along with the other kids. It’s not working very well.
staffing the building with social workers at night
Nobody could have seen this coming.
Also, I don’t understand the negativity used with the concept of “gentrification.” Seems to me that improving neighborhoods is a good thing.

It is a good thing for all the liberals that infest Washington. Make no mistake, they love their gentrified neighborhoods and upscale living in the capitol city. They are elites in every sense of the word.
“some still struggling with severe behavioral problems.”
Translation - people doing as they please with no consequences other than being rewarded with tolerance and understanding for their disgusting behavior.
“As of February, tenants with city-issued housing vouchers had filled nearly half of the building’s roughly 140 units.”
The remaining units will soon be available as those tenants escape the newly created shithole.
“Liberals have been miseducated to believe that all people are good.”
Really? How come they hate conservatives and Republicans?
It buys into the lie that given the same opportunity that a well off or middle class person has (they call it privilege) that you will get an equal outcome. It’s total BS. Ben Shapiro always puts it that the left don’t want equal opportunity (which the USA supplies in abundance) they want equality or outcome or equity. This is a perfect picture of why that rarely works
Equality of outcome (apologies)
Why do poor troublemakers have the right to live in run-down but well located areas? No group has an inherent right to potentially valuable real estate.
If we want to move the bad area to a less desirable location and then build the fence, that works for me. But, we have to be able to reclaim residential areas in the cities.
The only thing I need to know is ...did th owners vote democrat!!!!
They haven’t burned it down yet?
Silly liberals think they can pass a law and do away with genders so why not pass a wall changing human nature to what makes them feel good?
With an initial venture capital investment of only one dollar!
I remember when Hillsboro, Calif was in need of affordable housing because they had none. No public transit either.
Staffing with social workers ! .... now that’s an effective solution!
