Part 5/7:
Throughout the meeting, it became apparent that the challenges faced by the Kennedy Center are part of a larger issue related to urban management and safety in Washington, DC. The speaker articulated a commitment to addressing crime and improving public spaces, noting progress made in collaboration with local authorities to clear tent encampments outside federal buildings.
