We don't need moderate Republicans. You do realize that moderate republicans in DC are democrats every where else. How about people just start paying attention and voting in general. I am liberal dem who believes that Bowser is an idiot. I can't get others to pay attention. |

What we need is to adopt the general electoral law in California, another jurisdiction where one party has (largely) become dominant. There, the two top vote getters in the primary are automatically on the general election ballot, regardless of party. The ensures a more viable choice in the fall, and would be helpful in DC where someone in a multi-candidate Democratic primary could be as good as elected with 18 percent of the vote in the primary. Maybe this would reduce the chance that the general election results in an idiot (Bowser) or council members who lack a fundamental understanding of basic economics and are so left that they make Bernie seem like Milton Friedman. |

Yes I understand that. And I understand Democrats in DC are hyper far left, hypocritical, limousine, beholden to donor liberals anywhere else. So I vote for anyone with Republican next to their name in DC. |

| Is DC still subsidizing home security cameras? I wish more people would take advantage and mount them. |

| Was in Whole Foods in Tenleytown yesterday at 9 am. Wilson needs to send a truancy patrol over to the store. About two dozen high schools kids wandering aimlessly. |

When I lived in CP in the 90s it had a real barbershop, several independent coffee shops, a book store, a real bagel shop, and several interesting restaurants. The person above is correct that CP has gone way downhill and it’s sad. It can’t even keep a Starbucks or chipotle. Remember the cereal shop! Its decline is a tragedy. Really. |

How racist of you to point that out. |

The PP didn’t mention the race(s) of the students. The PP should start their own thread about Wilson/Tenleytown. This one is about Cleveland Park. You both need to step up your game. |

How does this work?i thought you have to be in low income housing to qualify. Not so? |

How do you know which of the several high schools in the are the kids attend? Also, how do you know they were truant as opposed to on a flex schedule with off campus privileges? |

I doubt the students you saw at Whole Foods have anything to do with the crime spree in Cleveland Park. Here maybe this will help you better understand. |

Fair point. What if they were GDS students helping some homeless people near the WF? |

Why should they? |

Wilson seniors do not take a full load, as many/most have completed most of their high school requirements by the end of junior year. My kid only needs to take two classes next year to graduate (a full schedule is 8), but he'll take 5 because there are AP math and science classes he wants to take. He'll be done with school by noon some days or start late. This is exactly what I did as a high school senior, and I assume what most people who come into high school with advanced language and math credits do. My kid and his friends frequently go to Whole Foods to (gasp) shop for food. I've never heard of anyone "wandering aimlessly." |
