Then you can connect dots.

ANC 3F — which is most affected by vouchers — was not one of the racist parts of Ward 3. Forest Hills was one of the neighborhoods without a covenant prohibiting Blacks and Jews. So if Frumin is intent on righting the wrongs, he could focus on Spring Valley (which did have a covenant) or his own AU park. But he’s essentially Nimbying a d leaving other parts of Ward 3 to shoulder policies that have significantly increased crime and haven’t shown many benefits beyond enriching landlords.

Frumin is focused on the proposal in Chevy Chase, which has nothing to do with 3F. The program in 3F started under Cheh. Frumin cannot undo it. He is a councilmember, not the mayor.

It's his literal JOB to convince, cajole, strong-arm, etc. various parties towards policies that benefit his ward. This is how our system of government works.

If he isn't willing to do his JOB, or is putting the interests of residents from other wards above the interests of the residents he represents, he should find another job.

How do you know he hasn't tried with the Mayor and Directors of the different departments? Have you asked? Or are you just complaining on a website? Because if yu were really concerned, then there should be records of calls and emails to his office for action. Have you done that?

Frumin could throw his weight around a bit on this matter but chooses not to because he’s seemingly scared of angering extremely online white leftists (a tiny portion of DC’s population). He pays zero attention to his actual constituents, who are gonna dump him on his mediocre white ass if just one viable opponent steps up.

Proof of this? Or just conjecture?

This is moronic on so many levels.

Maybe because it is a Mayoral issue that a councilmember has zero control over. But keep on being mad at the wrong people.
