Do you mean Washington, D.C. (the city), DC Comics, or direct current (electricity)?
If you mean Washington, D.C., one pressing issue I’d want addressed is affordable housing and homelessness. Briefly:
- Why: Rents and home prices have risen faster than wages, displacing long-term residents and increasing visible homelessness. This worsens inequality, harms families and children, and strains services.
- Concrete steps to take:
- Increase funding and stable revenue for the Housing Production Trust Fund to build deeply affordable units.
- Use public land and vacant sites for permanently affordable housing and community land trusts.
- Strengthen tenant protections (eviction diversion, right to counsel, rent stabilization measures where legal).
- Expand rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing plus coordinated case management for people with complex needs.
- Reform zoning to allow more missing-middle housing and transit-oriented development while protecting displacement-prone neighborhoods.
- Improve coordination between DC and federal programs (since federal housing agencies influence resources) and track outcomes with transparent data.
- What residents can do: Support ballot measures and council candidates prioritizing housing, volunteer/invest in local nonprofits, and advocate for specific policy changes.
If you meant a different “DC,” tell me which and I’ll give a focused response.
