The D.C. government is going to turn Franklin School into a museum. I am appalled! The city does not need another museum. The city does need affordable housing. So why not transform the school into a housing complex that’s affordable for the homeless?
I also worry about what will happen to Franklin Park. Now people loiter, trash is everywhere, and the fountain reeks. The D.C. government must repair the park so people can go to it and enjoy its amenities without wondering about their safety. As long as the government keeps people on the streets with nowhere to go, they will cause problems by sleeping on benches and beneath overpasses. Making Franklin Park attractive will help put the D.C. government back on its feet.
