0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, folks, get this Washington Post headline, d C housed

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the homeless in upscale apartments. It hasn't gone as planned. Now,

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this story covers the upscale Sedge Gardens apartment building in

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>northwest Washington, near fashionable Rock Creek Park. It's listed on

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the National Register of Historic Places. Now here's where it

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>gets good. A couple of years ago, Washington d C

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>housing officials fattened the pot of money available for rental subsidies.

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Their goal was to give tenants in high crime, impoverished

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>neighborhoods a shot at moving out of there and moving

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>into high end housing. What could go wrong? Well, some

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>of these tenants moved into sedgwate Gardens directly from homeless

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>shelters or the streets, and big surprise, they brought their

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>behavioral problems with them. Police visits to the building quadruple.

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>There is pot, smoke in the air, feces in the

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>stairways like in San Francisco. There were so many complaints

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the city started staffing the building with social work. Longtime

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>residents got the heck out. Now, whose idea was this?

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>You see? This is liberal thinking, this is liberal planning,

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>this is liberal policy. This outcome is totally predictable. It

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>would almost be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic for

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the people who were forced out, the people who were

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>paying to be there.
