But any issues are no worse than other areas, which have other problems from overdoses to jobs drain that DC mostly does not.
Many places in the country are great; all places have strengths and weaknesses. But nothing in DC justifies what’s happening.
Speaking of needing investment in local news, @51st.news — which we should all subscribe to! — just published this piece by @janeese4dc.bsky.social describing her news coupon proposal to use individual choice to strengthen local journalism in DC.
In this moment local journalism is vital.
The need for public investment in local journalism is dire. The Local News Funding Act would support vital sources of information in D.C.
There are many amazing leaders in DC like @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social and @brianneknadeau.bsky.social who co-sponsored this bill. There are a lot of people here who care about others and about making the world a better and fairer place. /end
