Control Board like in the Clinton era to get rid of the Council, roll back idiotic legislation, and usher the new age of prosperity. Can return to self-government in 4 budget cycle just like then, but with the new term limits and fewer Council persons.

What’s going to go into Capitol One arena??

Handouts to cronies.

The amount of time and money this city has spent on housing drug addicts in luxury apartments and building unused bike lanes and generally making the quality of life of taxpayers worse is unprecedented. Everything this Mayor and Council touches comes out worse. I can’t believe my neighbors keep voting for these clowns.

Mixed use. DC can use the business taxes to subsidize housing. Win win.

Yep, bike lanes and drug addicts are totally the same thing.

But the immediate and overwhelming need in DC is to provide homes for the unhoused, which is what should be built where the Capitol One arena now stands.

Progressives are essential radicalized, far-left democrats. They can be thought of as:

Your neighbors ARE these clowns. They believe all same leftist looney tunes nuttery the council and mayor push. That’s WHY they get elected. All of DC’s problems aren’t the fault of the politicians - they’re the fault of your crazy lefty neighbors. They do the voting that puts these clowns in office. The council and mayor are just a reflection of the people living next door to you.

The lack of adequate wraparound services has made the problem worse.
