You're talking about Krucoff, the Republican candidate in the general. Eric Goulet was the Democratic candidate running in the primary, and he said that there were serious issues with the voucher program that needed to be addressed (for which he was relentlessly trashed and called a bigot). He also wanted to focus on improving Ward 3, such as trying to solve the issue of it lacking the Pre-K that the rest of the city has. By contrast, Frumin's focus was about how Ward 3 needed to sacrifice more for the rest of the city. Voters chose Frumin, and here we are.

Won’t Frumin at least deliver on his pledge to bring more pickle ball to Ward 3?

Also Blame Elisa Silverman. She illegally bought and released a phony poll to weaken Gouket and boost Frumin. That’s not all she did to try to be Ward 3’s kingmaker. She shoved an ANC gerrymandering scheme down voters’ throats as well, even mocking them by promising to hold a big party to celebrate the redistricting they opposed. At least Ward 3 voters punished her for that — bye, bye Silverman! Let’s do the same thing with other DC politicos who won’t listen to the voters.

That pickleball pledge was hysterical. He put out his top five priorities for ward 3 shortly after his election, and CRIME WAS NOT AMONG THEM. Pickleball was, of course. RIdiculous.

The problem is that you can’t put the people placed through Housing First in the cross hairs bc of a huge systemic problem in the government. We are not seeing the forest for the trees.

I don’t understand your second paragraph.

Is there any way to learn which buildings are eligible for voucher residents? My building is fine but I want to know if it could potentially turn to sht like other places in the neighborhood.

All of them are required to take people w/o consideration of how rent is paid. This included condos rented out.

So is it just dumb luck that my building hasn't flipped? It could happen anywhere in the city

yes, it has. the density and size of buildings on connecticut and wisconsin makes it more obvious, but yes.

This is PP. My building seems like an ideal candidate for this horsesht, so we’ve been lucky so far.

Who’d you vote for in ‘20? The other Ward 3 candidate presciently called for an immediate voucher moratorium. Unfortunately he lost. Just think how much better it would be if we could set the clock back two years. Choose better next time.

Everyone complaining here should ask that person to run again and contribute to his campaign.Who was it?

He also called for ceding DC in to Maryland.

Not a bad idea. Maryland is much better run than Dee-Cee (which will never, ever be a state).

Speaking for all of Maryland, hard pass.

I was in a different ward then. Plan to Anyone But Frumin this time.

ABF

Frumin was elected in '22 after Cheh announced she wasn't running.

Does he live in close proximity to the crimes?

Like almost all of the pro-crime officials, he’s insulated. See no evil, hear no evil.

No, he lives in the heart of AU Park, so he basically experiences none of this.

Even having one of these violent crimes happen five years ago would have been a huge deal. Now it’s common.

Frumin is not the right person for this job at this time. His inaction and refusal to even engage with his constituents on the issue of crime will lead to further spiraling.
Too bad the voters didn’t pay more attention during the election. Elections, consequences, etc etc

Is there any organized effort yet to complain about the crime that's overwhelming the benefits of living in our neighborhood? We're a young family hoping to stay here to raise our children and have felt so grateful to live in this city for the last two decades. We will move as a last resort but would at least like to try to save the neighborhood. Is anyone organizing a letter-writing campaign, Twitter campaign, phone bank, etc. in an attempt to get our elected officials to do something?

I think 2024 will be worse than 20023 and it will take a council member losing to a “tough on crime” primary opponent for any change to begin. That will take a decade to reverse the slide.

Contact your CM and the mayor’s office. Make your concerns known.

I went back and looked at campaign issues in the last Ward 3 election. Crime was not even listed as an issue. That tells you how quickly things have spiralled out of control.

People, we need candidates! Retirees are great for this - they have plenty of time to give. Talk to your wise neighbors and colleagues, please!!
