37-Unit Townhouse Development Pitched For The Parks at Walter Reed
Hines and Urban Atlantic recently filed an application for the new development at Parcel Z on the southwestern edge of The Parks.
We looked at a couple of spots over there. But what's interesting is that as you go up GA Ave that far & 16th you don't find as much foolishness going on.
That among others. Walter Reed took up a lot of space. I think they got a Whole Foods there so you already know big money is on the line.This?

Yeah they do a lot of outdoor events in the park area behind that McDonald’s too.
Yeah man those were some great time, not to mention the Caribbean day parade. Remember when GA Ave would be clogged up from Harvard down to Fla Ave during Howard homecoming.
Good times.
Well, you know what’s going to happen in 20 years. You going to have folks coming back and being revisionists and saying it was too harsh. That’s what they’re doing to Biden and Hillary even though the black community was asking for stiffer penalties for crime in the late 80’s and 90’s. It seems that’s why democrats don’t want to look like they’re hard on punishing crime even though that’s what’s needed — stiffer penalties!
“If the ******* can’t govern themselves, we’ll do it for them!”
Not acceptable for any other city but the former Chocolate City.
I can’t imagine calling for more black people to be locked up while bemoaning the good old white folk who were unjustly smeared for putting blacks in cages. Couldn’t be me.
Shut you bitch ass up! Muthfucka you don’t live here and yo punk ass wasn’t here in the 80’s or 90’s. Nigga if you a criminal yo punk ass need to be in prison with other criminals. You don’t need to be out in the world fuckin wit people trying to accomplish shit. Fuck out here.
Fam and I just moved to Woodbridge, I work on Bolling and thinking about taking the VRE to work. Is the VRE a safe option? I'm from ATL, but this D.C..crime hit different.

Man you down in Hoodbridge..lol
Yeah the VRE is safe, mainly white folks coming up to DC from VA. I used to catch the MD version (MARC) when I was dating a chick that lived in Odenton. Never had any issues & caught it early & late.
Hood? Wait what
Yeah you definitely good bro. I've never taken the VRE into the city, but most of my co -workers who took it, never had any issues....
Co-sign what @PlayerR said
Are you taking it to Union Station and getting on a bus or transferring onto the metro?
I don't know. Is that the route to Bolling coming from Woodbridge?
That's just a joke, we've always called it that.
You'll have to catch the VRE to Union Station, then hop on the metro Red line to the Green line get off at Anacostia Station. Bolling may have shuttles that run from the Anacostia metro station.
I wonder how many people Slug from Woodbridge to Boiling? One of my homies at work use to do that from Fredericksburg to near K street
Probably nowhere near as many as from Fredricksburg & spots down that way.
Sure is a lot of foreigners in this bitch, my wife said she feels like she's deployed in the Middle East. Can't lie though I feel a lil uncomfortable a lot of Muslims
Is it the mayor's fault?
Honestly what can be done about it? I ask because I wanna know.
If I roll up on a corner. See four people that I don't like, shoot and
What can be done to prevent that? Have cops on every corner? Have cameras on every corner?
They're damn near getting to that point with the cameras in many big cities.
But what would you like to see done to change it or what can be done?
Fool, I’ve lived in DC for years.
Yeah it is I was out that way last month, there has always been some but it's def increased in the last few years.

Ultimately, it's the mayor's responsibility to make decisions for the city, so yes it's her fault as well as the city council. If the city needs to become more of a military state to address the crime, that is what needs to happen.
That said, stricter penalties don't address the root cause which are poverty and the idle minds of the youth. Over the years, the goal has seemingly been to bring in more money while pushing the unwanted out. They knock down low income housing and claim they will rebuild them or ensure a balance. From what's being reported, the projects are torn down for years and when the new condos/apartments are built the amount for low income tenants are reduced. Imagine living in poor and unsafe conditions, the neighborhood being rebuilt, and it's safer only for people to say oh that's not for you.
As a kid I remember people calling the police and no one showing up or taking forever. When more white people moved into the neighborhoods, you couldn't as much as sit on your front porch or stand in front of your house without police showing up. Imagine if they had that level of care when it was mostly Black people. The best you'd get at certain points is when they would have all hands on deck weekends and they more or less worked. As a teen, alot of us bearly wanted to be just outside because of the increased police presence.
From my observation, the juvenile system was a joke across the DMV. People would get caught and sent home. They'd just be on house arrest if that. Even if they were sent to a Boys Village, they treated it like a playground and would be in and out. They weren't being reformed as much as held. If you went to one of the boot camp style juvenile facilities, you may really learn a lesson, but you are going back to the same environment so most went back to old habits over time. The kids become adults who commit worse crimes. Even if you want to change and get a job, companies hold your criminal record against you so you go back to what you know. I'm not sure if this has changed, but I thought you couldn't even get financial aid for school with a felony.
Although I could see it being abused like most for profit prisons, I wouldn't be opposed to long-term military type facilities for violent juveniles. Trade schools should be available and students should have paid apprenticeships. Kids take alot of pride in saying they are from a certain neighborhood. The mindset has to change to them viewing their neighborhoods in a more positive light. If you are helping to build and maintain the neighborhood ,you are policing your neighborhood etc.. it becomes more than who does the most crimes or which should be feared. Every youth needs to have some level of responsibility and hopefully that care of the community carries over to adulthood.
You still a hoe ass nigga with a hoe ass screen name. Fuck niggas like you are part of the problem. I am sure. Talmbout don’t lock nobody up. Folk like you is the problem.
Learn to spell ho before you call somebody one in writing... Fool.

Nothing but stiffer penalties can be done about it The problem is these muthfuckas don’t have no code, no values, and no morales and their mother’s don’t either ( they don’t know their fathers) and their grandmother’s have a little if any. This is the first time that black folks are experiencing this no code, no morales, and no values from a big part of our population. It use to be you had a couple of bamas that had no chill and was off the hook. Now it’s pretty much commonplace.Is it the mayor's fault?

Nigga shut your ass up, hoe! This is bgol, coon!
So it’s a real disconnect between her and the residents esp the Washingtonians who have lived their all their life.Is it the mayor's fault?

I was talking to my homie about this the other day who is a third generation Washingtonian, was a teacher at a few schools in DC, and worked at DC Parks and Recreations for probably over 20 years before going into teaching.
The punishment for the kids is a slap on the wrist when they do some dumb shit. Kids seeing their friends Rob and steal, get caught, and back in the neighborhood the next day. Definitely bigger punishments need to be handed down. Also, these kids are mimicking GTA and bringing it into the streets knowing they will not get into serious trouble.
Also, he mentioned how Michelle Ann Rhee whole school reform was a major disaster in dumbing down kids at schools where mostly black kids attended.
Ultimately she is continuing the plan of making DC a city of elites where the poor and black folks are ultimately going to have to leave.
Coonser is def disconnected from lifelong Washingtonians & that's sad seeing as though she's one. She's def in the pocket of the developers & gentrified YT's. Rhee was a total disaster & simply here for a money grab, screwed shit up & bounced.
I agree, definitely needs to be stiffer penalties for crimes. Specifically armed robberies and carjackings. But yes crime in general.
You're right also about people and morale, people are just getting shittier and shittier.
You're right there's definitely a disconnect with her and the people. She'a about progressing the city financially but not investing financially in the people.
And yes, definitely stiffer penalties on crime, especially seemed robberies and carjackings. Whether the person's a juvenile or not.
And yes, she making it a place where the current residents will no longer be able to afford to live there.
