Will anyone notice that the DC Council is considering tax increases, again?

Frumin has been a disaster for Ward 3. An existential threat.

If you think a higher income tax on W3 households earning more than $250,000 is an existential threat, you’re crazy. (Speaking as a member of a W3 household that earns more than that.) Why would this be so terrible, exactly?

I dont think anyone called it an existential threat. But we do already have extremely high taxes, and a seriously profligate government. Maybe they could stop spending money on stupid shit instead?

Maybe you have money to spare, but some families do not. If you wanna donate your money to the government, you are free to do so, chump.

How about the government stop wasting our money first? Please tell me why we pay so much in taxes when 30% of 8th graders can't read?

There's like nine "Safe Passage" people stationed outside the high school near me. In July. I don't know why 17 year olds need the city's help crossing the street or why they need help from an entire posse of Safe Passage people and hey didnt anyone notice that school is not in session in July?

The city is using MY tax dollars to import criminals into our neighborhood. Crime is up in our section of Ward 3 over 20% in the past few years. There is a marijuana dispensing two blocks from my kids school. It’s increasingly and demonstrably more dangerous. It’s the definition of an existential threat. And, Mr. Frumin wants more of my dollars? Can’t wait to support his opponent.

Right? Can we please go back to keeping those people somewhere else? What was the slogan? "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever?". You should make that your platform and run for DC council.

Nope. We’re not afraid of you anymore. It’s not 2020 - 2021.

It blows my mind that the DC government spent a quarter billion dollars building the street car for H street and then, after just a few years of being in service, decided they didnt want it anymore.

To the "statistics" posters, how do you draw conclusions from the statistics? Are they reflections of the causes? Or the effects?

Assuming that Black people are the cause of the problem is racist. I know that you don't have any proof of causation.

Does that help?"

=> Dingbat, when there are fewer of this parasitic group of blacks in the city, that will CAUSE the city to be less violent, less dangerous, and the economic weight of having to carry this group for generations will have been lifted. People domt care what causes eg, black parents to allow their kids to roam around dc like packs of feral animals. They just are fed up with the uncivilized, primitive behavior.

Sorry to break it to you, but a lot of criminals come in from Maryland, so throwing them out of DC (how, exactly?) won't do a whole heck of a lot.

do you think all those high end condo buildings were built on farm land? on empty fields?

The whole point of “increasing density” is getting rid of single family homes. That’s why the city is getting so white.

Huh? DC was whiter than it is now for most of its existence.

Yeah, they're not making a lot of sense. White people moving in doesn't particularly relate to the effort towards increased density. Also, given the number of row houses, there hasn't been nearly the propensity towards tearing down single family homes that Montgomery County has seen. Nor the changes in zoning that have been proposed there.

Developers buy single family homes from black people. They knock them down and replace them with expensive condos. They sell them to high income white people. That drives up housing prices and, with it, property taxes. More people are forced to sell their homes because of the property taxes, and the pattern repeats. This is how Ward 4 went from 80 percent black in 1995 to 42 percent black in 2025 and how Ward 5 went from 85 percent black in 1995 to 45 percent black in 2025.

Lost in your "expert" analysis is the fact that these homeowners walk away with tons of cash due to the value of their home. But don't let facts get in the way of your virtue signaling.

Also, kid, nobody forces anyone to sell their home.

Well, property taxes force people to sell all the time. And they would have made a lot more money if they had been able to hold onto their houses and sold later.

Who constantly raises your property taxes?

Your elected politicians.
