1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Right, folks, get this Washington Post headline, d C housed

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: the homeless in upscale apartments. It hasn't gone as planned. Now,

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: this story covers the upscale Sedge Gardens apartment building in

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: northwest Washington, near fashionable Rock Creek Park. It's listed on

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: the National Register of Historic Places. Now here's where it

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: gets good. A couple of years ago, Washington d C

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: housing officials fattened the pot of money available for rental subsidies.

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Their goal was to give tenants in high crime, impoverished

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: neighborhoods a shot at moving out of there and moving

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: into high end housing. What could go wrong? Well, some

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: of these tenants moved into sedgwate Gardens directly from homeless

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: shelters or the streets, and big surprise, they brought their

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: behavioral problems with them. Police visits to the building quadruple.

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: There is pot, smoke in the air, feces in the

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: stairways like in San Francisco. There were so many complaints

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the city started staffing the building with social work. Longtime

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: residents got the heck out. Now, whose idea was this?

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: You see? This is liberal thinking, this is liberal planning,

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: this is liberal policy. This outcome is totally predictable. It

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: would almost be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic for

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: the people who were forced out, the people who were

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: paying to be there.
