Landmark plaza needs its own police district
It’s tough to recruit new police officers these days. Sadly, as population increases, so do the number of criminals, even if the percentage stays the same. Annandale is now considered “urban” with all the problems that brings. If we can create attainable housing and groceries for the less fortunate, perhaps they will be less desperate. We need far more mental health and addiction rehab across the nation, not just in Mason District, to help turn miscreants into productive citizens.
