There is only so much a Councilmember can do - they are not the Mayor where MPD is concerned, nor in terms of managing projects like the DC Water culvert on Albemarle Street, where the contractor has run into a number of issues that were not identified when the project was being scoped out more than 4 years ago.

Yes, crime spiked during Frumin's tenure and remains higher than before he was in office. Easily found by checking DC crime cards. And, more importantly, crime went up in Ward 3 while going down in others. https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::10122022:10122025/in:Ward:3 Indeed, he should be accountable. He votes on crime bills, no?

You seem to suggest it just happened out of the blue. Of course, Frumin is to blame because he supports policy that directly correlate with that increase in crime. There is cause and effect at this point. If you look at a crime map for Ward 3 and track the incidents, you will find that many take place along the Connecticut Ave NW corridor near the voucher buildings. There are homicides in location where there never were in the decades prior.

All crime in ward 3 is up by almost 20 percent during the 3 year period (ending today) compared to the previous 3-year period. What has he ever done to tackle crime in the Ward, particularly in the areas where it has increased more dramatically? If crime rates are dropping now, we can attribute it to Draconian policing and not Frumin.

On the projects, the funding of the projects could be halted while the issue is sorted, no? Why should taxpayers bear that burden? How is Frumin helping us? How is he making Ward 3 safer for its residents?

This is nonsense.

You want to blame Frumin for policies that you believe increased crime in Ward 3 a couple of years ago, but not give him any credit for policies that you believe decreased crime in Ward 3 this year?

News flash: Frumin had nothing to do with any of these policies and neither does any single council-member.

You may have your issues with the way the city goes about housing formerly-homeless people and that’s fine. Many people from across the political spectrum have criticized how the program is run. After all, the only reason that Frumin is now the council-member is that his predecessor leveled a few criticisms of her own and got so much blowback she decided to quit the council.

In the off chance that you do actually care about the voucher program (rather than just trying to smear Frumin), I’d recommend you look into who actually administers it and take your issues up with them.

-1. Beyond being a cheerleader for the voucher program, Frumin literally cosponsored the legislation that decriminalized street vending. The result? Every convenience store and CVS in Ward 3 were looted regularly for two years. Some stores closed. All now lock up their merchandise. We all pay more because of this. Of course he famously voted in favor that disastrous crime “reform” bill. His instincts on crime policy are almost always wrong. We cannot have another four years of him.

Dollars to donuts you have absolutely no idea what was in the RCC bill and generally lack the critical thinking skills to distinguish between fact and political propaganda. But I will give you credit for creativity - drawing such a direct line from the decriminalization of street vending (something I don’t think I’ve ever seen anywhere in Ward 3, but carry on) to “regular looting” requires a very special mind.

Well, President Biden, Leader Chuck Schumer, Mayor Bowser, and 32 other Senate Democrats knew what was in the Council crime bill that Frumin voted for. And they sure didn’t like it. Pro tip: if a California senator thinks your crime bill is crazy, you need to find a new line of work.

All of which would seem to confirm that you indeed have absolutely no idea what was in the actual bill. You favor cheap talking points over actual analysis. If you did know what was in the bill, you would understand that prosecutors jobs are more difficult - and DC is therefore less safe - for that bill not becoming law. Not that Bowser, Schumer, or Biden have ever shown much interest in doing anything to help improve the quality of life in DC.

Please list 5 of Frumin’s accomplishments on behalf of his ward 3 constituents. How has he made things better since Mary Cheh left? Can anyone highlight his accomplishments??

What were Mary Cheh’s five accomplishments?

What were Jack Evans’?

So you can't answer?

Why does every other ward get a council person focused on the needs of their local community but somehow Ward 3 effectively gets another at large council person?

I don't see where Frumin is any different for Ward 3 than any other Ward Councilmember is for their ward. He has a strong constituent services team that are responsive to calls and emails from constituents which is the primary role for a Councilmember. The rest is just representative government voting for different bills that come out of different committees that the mayor may, or may not, sign.

Um, no. Not true. Was quite unresponsive.

About Frumin that is. Frumin worked for Cheh, so more reason to boot him. The one thing she did that he should do is acknowledge that correlation (and now causation) between voucher program and marked increase in crime in particular ANCs in Ward 3.

Seriously, though, what has Frumin done?

He doesn't respond to email.

His office has been very responsive to me experience.

Several of us here were ghosted when asking him to address increasing crime.

What exactly did you want him to do?

That question is just staggeringly tone deaf, like the man himself. What does anyone want an elected official to do? To govern and to enact legislation that improves the lives and livlihoods of the people represented by the elected official. To propose a plan on how to reduce crime in ward 3. To investigate why crime rose in ward 3 while dropping elsewhere in the district, etc. And to show care and concern for the people he represents.

If you knew anywhere as much about the supposed problem of “skyrocketing crime in Ward 3” as you seem to believe you do, you would be telling us about that plan right now. But you don’t know anything about it and so all you have to offer is the dumbest platitudes about how your elected official should be doing more about something.

And you can’t even get the basic facts right. Here’s the data on crime in Ward 3: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ward/3

Where in all that is holy in that data is this rising crime you speak of?

The only person who is going to go to lengths to defend Frumin like you are is Frumin himself or staff.

First of all, the site I quote is the official DC government site. Yours has unidentifiable ownership and a mailing address in Iceland.

https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?itc=dlp_domain_whois&domain=crimedatadc

So let's use the actual official DC government crime data (as I did previously and do again below) to track the crime trajectory along the Connecticut Avenue/Van Ness Corridor during Mr. Frumin's tenure.


ANC 3F

Jan 1 2023 v Jan 1 2022
222 overall crime cases (Jan 1 2023) vs 215 cases on Jan 1 2022. That's an increase of 3 percent. OK, so maybe people could live with this small increase. So, let's look at the next year.

Source: https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::01012022:01012023/in:ANC:3F



Jan 1 2024 v Jan 1 2023
Now we have 339 overall crime cases v 222 on Jan 1 2023 (and vs. 215 on Jan. 1 2022).

That is an increase of 52 percent!

Source: https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::01012023:01012024/in:ANC:3F

Jan 1 2025 v Jan 1 2024

We have 362 overall crime cases vs. 339 a year earlier. So that's a 6.8 percent increase on top of the previous year's 52 percent increase.

https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::01012024:01012025/in:ANC:3F



And finally, crime cases went from 215 a year on Jan. 1, 2022 to 362 a year on Jan. 1 2025. That's a 68 percent increase in crime cases, which I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we can indeed call that "skyrocketing."

+1. Not to mention that anything of value is now locked up behind plexiglass and stores have been forced to hire private security. This increases costs for all of us and decreases quality of life.

Dork, the 3F stats are freely available via the same website you cast aspersions on and - drumroll please - shows exactly the same friggin numbers: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ANC/3F

The problem for you is that we all know that cherry-picking data points is the mark of a scoundrel. 3F is but a seventh of the ward and the trends across the whole ward are completely different than those in 3F.

If you want to take issue with what has happened in 3F, specifically, you should probably start talking to the ANC representing that neighborhood. The other 6/7ths of the ward seem to be doing OK.

If we wanted to have a discussion about crime in America, would we focus on what is going on in a single city? No? Why then the obsession with ANC3F? The data across all of Ward 3 suggests that Frumin is going a fairly good job overall.

Yes, crime spiked during Frumin's tenure and remains higher than before he was in office. Easily found by checking DC crime cards. And, more importantly, crime went up in Ward 3 while going down in others. https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::10122022:10122025/in:Ward:3 Indeed, he should be accountable. He votes on crime bills, no?

You seem to suggest it just happened out of the blue. Of course, Frumin is to blame because he supports policy that directly correlate with that increase in crime. There is cause and effect at this point. If you look at a crime map for Ward 3 and track the incidents, you will find that many take place along the Connecticut Ave NW corridor near the voucher buildings. There are homicides in location where there never were in the decades prior.

All crime in ward 3 is up by almost 20 percent during the 3 year period (ending today) compared to the previous 3-year period. What has he ever done to tackle crime in the Ward, particularly in the areas where it has increased more dramatically? If crime rates are dropping now, we can attribute it to Draconian policing and not Frumin.

On the projects, the funding of the projects could be halted while the issue is sorted, no? Why should taxpayers bear that burden? How is Frumin helping us? How is he making Ward 3 safer for its residents?

This is nonsense.

You want to blame Frumin for policies that you believe increased crime in Ward 3 a couple of years ago, but not give him any credit for policies that you believe decreased crime in Ward 3 this year?

News flash: Frumin had nothing to do with any of these policies and neither does any single council-member.

You may have your issues with the way the city goes about housing formerly-homeless people and that’s fine. Many people from across the political spectrum have criticized how the program is run. After all, the only reason that Frumin is now the council-member is that his predecessor leveled a few criticisms of her own and got so much blowback she decided to quit the council.

In the off chance that you do actually care about the voucher program (rather than just trying to smear Frumin), I’d recommend you look into who actually administers it and take your issues up with them.

-1. Beyond being a cheerleader for the voucher program, Frumin literally cosponsored the legislation that decriminalized street vending. The result? Every convenience store and CVS in Ward 3 were looted regularly for two years. Some stores closed. All now lock up their merchandise. We all pay more because of this. Of course he famously voted in favor that disastrous crime “reform” bill. His instincts on crime policy are almost always wrong. We cannot have another four years of him.

Dollars to donuts you have absolutely no idea what was in the RCC bill and generally lack the critical thinking skills to distinguish between fact and political propaganda. But I will give you credit for creativity - drawing such a direct line from the decriminalization of street vending (something I don’t think I’ve ever seen anywhere in Ward 3, but carry on) to “regular looting” requires a very special mind.

Well, President Biden, Leader Chuck Schumer, Mayor Bowser, and 32 other Senate Democrats knew what was in the Council crime bill that Frumin voted for. And they sure didn’t like it. Pro tip: if a California senator thinks your crime bill is crazy, you need to find a new line of work.

All of which would seem to confirm that you indeed have absolutely no idea what was in the actual bill. You favor cheap talking points over actual analysis. If you did know what was in the bill, you would understand that prosecutors jobs are more difficult - and DC is therefore less safe - for that bill not becoming law. Not that Bowser, Schumer, or Biden have ever shown much interest in doing anything to help improve the quality of life in DC.

Please list 5 of Frumin’s accomplishments on behalf of his ward 3 constituents. How has he made things better since Mary Cheh left? Can anyone highlight his accomplishments??

What were Mary Cheh’s five accomplishments?

What were Jack Evans’?

Liberal by any standard, Mary was able to serve as a circuit breaker for some of the Councils worst instincts on crime, vouchers, and sanctuary city issues. Frumin completely lacks the knowledge or courage to push back on the socialist tendencies of the current Council and Ward 3 is worse for it.

ironic statement given she gave up her office when she was criticized for comments she made about new voucher residents in her neighborhood - so she wasn't able to stop what you are calling the council's worst instincts and it cost her seat.

Yes. The other poster seems to believe Ward 3 constitutes some kind of jurisdiction and can take its ball and go home if it doesn’t like what the city is foisting upon it. Ward 3 is far wealthier and whiter than anywhere else in the city. The optics of Ward 3 NiMBYs screaming bloody murder about housing vouchers are horrendous. The evisceration of Mary Cheh after she raised a few valid complaints was a lesson that Matt Frumin has wisely heeded. Doing the kinds of things that the other poster apparently wanted would have worked out very badly for the residents of the ward.

If you want to literally hear people screaming bloody murder come hang out in the lobby of Connecticut House on the weekends.

It's not a great situation, by any means. But a Ward 3 council-member sounding off publicly about the shortcomings of the program would be counter-productive. As we know from Cheh.

Ward 3 residents should certainly be asking Frumin privately about what he is doing about the issue. But he's wise not to be litigating this on social media.

LOL! Could it get any worse?

Yes. It could. A lot worse.

Thankfully, Frumin is not the kind of person who would prove it to by emulating the mistakes of she who went before him.

What exactly did you want him to do?

That question is just staggeringly tone deaf, like the man himself. What does anyone want an elected official to do? To govern and to enact legislation that improves the lives and livlihoods of the people represented by the elected official. To propose a plan on how to reduce crime in ward 3. To investigate why crime rose in ward 3 while dropping elsewhere in the district, etc. And to show care and concern for the people he represents.

If you knew anywhere as much about the supposed problem of “skyrocketing crime in Ward 3” as you seem to believe you do, you would be telling us about that plan right now. But you don’t know anything about it and so all you have to offer is the dumbest platitudes about how your elected official should be doing more about something.

And you can’t even get the basic facts right. Here’s the data on crime in Ward 3: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ward/3

Where in all that is holy in that data is this rising crime you speak of?

The only person who is going to go to lengths to defend Frumin like you are is Frumin himself or staff.

First of all, the site I quote is the official DC government site. Yours has unidentifiable ownership and a mailing address in Iceland.

https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?itc=dlp_domain_whois&domain=crimedatadc

So let's use the actual official DC government crime data (as I did previously and do again below) to track the crime trajectory along the Connecticut Avenue/Van Ness Corridor during Mr. Frumin's tenure.


ANC 3F

Jan 1 2023 v Jan 1 2022
222 overall crime cases (Jan 1 2023) vs 215 cases on Jan 1 2022. That's an increase of 3 percent. OK, so maybe people could live with this small increase. So, let's look at the next year.

Source: https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::01012022:01012023/in:ANC:3F



Jan 1 2024 v Jan 1 2023
Now we have 339 overall crime cases v 222 on Jan 1 2023 (and vs. 215 on Jan. 1 2022).

That is an increase of 52 percent!

Source: https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::01012023:01012024/in:ANC:3F

Jan 1 2025 v Jan 1 2024

We have 362 overall crime cases vs. 339 a year earlier. So that's a 6.8 percent increase on top of the previous year's 52 percent increase.

https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::01012024:01012025/in:ANC:3F



And finally, crime cases went from 215 a year on Jan. 1, 2022 to 362 a year on Jan. 1 2025. That's a 68 percent increase in crime cases, which I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we can indeed call that "skyrocketing."

+1. Not to mention that anything of value is now locked up behind plexiglass and stores have been forced to hire private security. This increases costs for all of us and decreases quality of life.

And to clarify, that's a 68 percent in increase in the annual crime rate. That also means that ANC 3F had more than 920 crime cases over a 3-year-period.

If we wanted to have a discussion about crime in America, would we focus on what is going on in a single city? No? Why then the obsession with ANC3F? The data across all of Ward 3 suggests that Frumin is going a fairly good job overall.

a

Because this ANC is the ANC most affected by policies supported by Frumin. And you're wrong, other ANCs are similarly affected. Ward 3 is the worst performing ward (increased crime vs decreased crime) in the district. This did not happen in a vacuum and it is a direct result of policies Frumin supported as well as his unwillingness to tackle crime.

You’re missing the point, probably deliberately.

Council members rarely achieve anything of significant mention because that’s not the kind of position they have.

Cheh’s tenure was noteworthy only for the ruckus created by her complaints about the voucher program and support for putting a school on Hardy Park.

Jack Evans served for decades and is best known for being investigated by the FBI and handing over primetime use of public fields to a wealthy private school his kids attended.

Frumin has avoided such notoriety and I for one are grateful for it.

Only someone who is completely disinterested in serious discussion could look at the crime stats and make such an asinine claim: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ward

For the umpteenth time, individual council members don’t “tackle crime”. That is the responsibility of MPD and the mayor that appoints the MPD leadership.

The RCC that was supported by Frumin and the entire council would have made it is easier for a whole slew of crimes to be prosecuted, but you’re not interested in discussing that either - only in propagating partisan nonsense.

About Frumin that is. Frumin worked for Cheh, so more reason to boot him. The one thing she did that he should do is acknowledge that correlation (and now causation) between voucher program and marked increase in crime in particular ANCs in Ward 3.

Seriously, though, what has Frumin done?

I'd like to see your work product on this, because it is a flat out lie.

Dork, the 3F stats are freely available via the same website you cast aspersions on and - drumroll please - shows exactly the same friggin numbers: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ANC/3F

The problem for you is that we all know that cherry-picking data points is the mark of a scoundrel. 3F is but a seventh of the ward and the trends across the whole ward are completely different than those in 3F.

If you want to take issue with what has happened in 3F, specifically, you should probably start talking to the ANC representing that neighborhood. The other 6/7ths of the ward seem to be doing OK.

It’s the most densely populated section of Ward 3, so it’s a very good place to look at to see how badly these progressives have damaged Ward 3. It’s the canary in the coal mine.

So let's use the actual official DC government crime data (as I did previously and do again below) to track the crime trajectory along the Connecticut Avenue/Van Ness Corridor during Mr. Frumin's tenure.


ANC 3F

Jan 1 2023 v Jan 1 2022
222 overall crime cases (Jan 1 2023) vs 215 cases on Jan 1 2022. That's an increase of 3 percent. OK, so maybe people could live with this small increase. So, let's look at the next year.

Jan 1 2024 v Jan 1 2023
Now we have 339 overall crime cases v 222 on Jan 1 2023 (and vs. 215 on Jan. 1 2022).

That is an increase of 52 percent!

Jan 1 2025 v Jan 1 2024

We have 362 overall crime cases vs. 339 a year earlier. So that's a 6.8 percent increase on top of the previous year's 52 percent increase.

And finally, crime cases went from 215 a year on Jan. 1, 2022 to 362 a year on Jan. 1 2025. That's a 68 percent increase in crime cases, which I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we can indeed call that "skyrocketing."

Dork, the 3F stats are freely available via the same website you cast aspersions on and - drumroll please - shows exactly the same friggin numbers: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ANC/3F

The problem for you is that we all know that cherry-picking data points is the mark of a scoundrel. 3F is but a seventh of the ward and the trends across the whole ward are completely different than those in 3F.

If you want to take issue with what has happened in 3F, specifically, you should probably start talking to the ANC representing that neighborhood. The other 6/7ths of the ward seem to be doing OK.

It’s the most densely populated section of Ward 3, so it’s a very good place to look at to see how badly these progressives have damaged Ward 3. It’s the canary in the coal mine.

That’s not even right. 3A and 3B are more densely populated. Go and look at a map for goodness sake.
