Sounds like they should be easy for you to defeat them, as is your right in a representative democracy

PP here. Yep, he's gone. Lost his primary. He's a stereotypical ANC guy -- young, white, lefty, thinks he knows better than everyone else and can just impose his views on his constituents, despite the fact that he initially won election with maybe 150 votes (it is amazing how little support these people win office with). Now, his political career is probably over, and everyone is better for it.

This fits in well with all the rest of the fiction here. 150 votes in an ANC election is a landslide. And they don't have primaries.

You just outed yourself as someone who knows nothing about and probably doesn't even live in DC. ANC reps are non-partisan and not subject to primaries.

PP here. Actually, I think I've outed myself as a normal person. And I've lived here for 30 years.

Don't ANC represent around 2,000 people. Hard to see how winning the support of less than eight percent of your constituents is a landslide.

Cycling causes child poverty now? Just when we thought this thread couldn't possibly get any more batshit, you grace us and proceed to blow our minds. I, for one, am entertained. Please carry on.

The government has a limited amount of resources. Every dollar it spends on one thing is a dollar that it can't spend on another thing. We all know that white guys have more pull with the government than poor black children so here we are. Sucks. Public money should go to the neediest not to whoever has the most influence with the dumb asses who run our government.

DC just ran a budget surplus, which means it literally has more money than it knows what to do with. Despite what you may believe, urban amenities like bike lanes increase property values, attract high income earners, and help the city generate additional revenues for doing things like alleviate child poverty. If the city was forced to make a choice, I would agree with you, but it doesn't and so I don't. Building infrastructure that saves lives - even those who are slightly better off - is not a waste of public money. It'd be even better if it could be built in Ward 8, but Trayon don't want it so it can't.

THIS IS AWESOME.

I have *never* heard of a trickle down economics theory of bike lanes. You sound like a modern day Ronald Reagan. So you're saying we should spend billions of dollars subsidizing the hobby of a handful of white guys from Palisades because the real beneficiaries are...poor black kids living in poverty? Do tell. And please explain that to everyone you meet, especially African Americans.

(Also, all a budget surplus means is that revenues exceed expenditures. It doesnt say anything about how the money is being spent and which needs are or are not being met).

Speaks to the entitlement of the bike lobby....

Well then you should check your connection to reality because what you said happened is impossible.

Note the margins in the contested ANC elections. Such concludes your civics lesson for today.

These results show that hardly anyone actively supports our elected officials. It's pathetic that people can win election with so little popular support.

Are you the 5k feet poster? Why lie about something so easily fact checked? Are you saying it’s normal for 30-year residents to lie? Interesting.

There are multiple “nuisance” buildings in Van Ness. The #1 complaint is marijuana smoke between apartment units. Many families with kids live there. Yet ANC 3F was giddy with excitement at the opportunity to support a weed dispensary on CT Ave. It appeared they almost wanted to push out a small business owner to make it happen. It’s incredible. Who are these people?

They are not "our" officials if you don't live in DC.

No one. They are not my neighbors. No one on our block knows who they are. Everyone on our streets assumed the ANCs were reviewing curb cut applications and liquor license renewals. Not rewriting social policy.
