Yes, the vice unit. |
We haven't tried real violence interrupters. The program could still work. Throw some more money at it. |
I take it you’re being sarcastic, but there is a grain of truth here. The Bowser administration (and, to be fair, its recent predecessors) has really cornered the market in taking good ideas and doing them really badly. Streetcars would be fantastic, but the implementation was so abysmal that there is no real hope of DC getting any further mileage in the near future. Likewise, the bike lanes - good idea, but scattered across the city in apparently random locations not so much. Housing vouchers for the homeless are not a bad idea, but yet the administration screwed the pooch. Hiring cronies and hacks might be good politics for Bowser, but really screwed over the city. |
Streetcars are dumb. It takes years to build the infrastructure. When it's finally ready, the community has already found a different solution. How about a bus system that is safe and works? I don't want a bus system that is basically an RV for the unhoused. |
The DC Streetcar as it currently exists is dumb. Dumb because it doesn't have a dedicated right-of-way, dumb because the line runs for only a couple of miles, and dumb because it cost so much to build. But a functional streetcar network offers myriad advantages over buses. |
She is awful. The DC government career fair was an exercise in exactly what you described. One of my siblings used this strategy to get out of chores as a kid - do them badly enough you don't get asked again. |
TBH, she is essentially Barry 2.0 |
Great point. She is, but without the Ward 8 love. |
The streetcar implementation was during the Gray regime, how is that Bowser's fault? And if we're on the topic of housing vouchers, the council should be blamed exponentially more than the mayor. https://www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/multifamily/dc-lawmakers-consider-changing-policy-that-has-hurt-housing-providers-125876 |
Do we really have ourselves a Bowser fan here? Unfortunately their reading skills are not doing their cause any favors. |
Other than those who engage in her coterie economy, I do not understand how anyone is a Bowser fan. |
Any bets on who is going to be for or against White on the council during tomorrows vote? |
The next step is to get him fully removed from the council.

Muriel Barry Bowser, Mayor for Your Life. |
Interesting. He hasn't been found guilty yet. I guess the council is trying to get sued. |
