He’s a willing lapdog for the DSA, which is much, much worse

He is hardly a lapdog to the DSA. Where do you even come up with this?

Give me one example of Frumin voting against something DSA supports.

Nice shifting of the goalposts.
That is far different from being a lapdog.

The fact that you can't even come up with one example is telling.

Why did he vote present on the recent housing bill?

To avoid taking a stand that will be either unpopular with his constituents or unpopular with his DSA overlords. He's a coward.

The thing I don’t get is that he seems more interested in helping non-Ward 3 residents over the quality of life for current Ward 3 residents. Fine, run for an At Large seat then. But right now Ward 3 has an absentee councilman.

Please, someone run against Frumin!

He is a joke for Ward 3.
I was at a forum at a public library where people were talking about increased crime, indecent exposure incidents with a homeless person, car break ins, etc.
All he talked about was how homeless people are "great" and that the shirtless homeless guy "gentleman" who hangs out on Connecticut Ave sometimes helps sweep inside the 7-11 and he's "really a great guy".
That was his response to legit concerns from his constituents.
Shameful.

This is exactly Frumin's problem. He doesn't seem to care about the people he was elected to represent.

My neighbors and I tried for months to get a homeless encampment removed from a street medium. His office was absolutely no help. Essentially they explained that it was up to the homeless guy to decide when to leave but his office would make sure the guy was comfortable. Wut? It was dystopian.

So you don’t actually know. Gee, thanks. That’s a big help.

the shirtless guy is named Christian. He often wears a lot of pink and in cooler weather a black duster. I think Cleveland Park Main Street had a piece about him a couple of years ago. He lives at Macomb and Connecticut and clearly has some psychological issues but neither commits crimes nor exposes himself indecently. He is absolutely ripped and black, so he probably scares a lot of the uptight whites in the neighborhood just by existing.

As for Frumin being at all DSA, that's a joke. DSA would probably love to replace Frumin with someone who puts up a fight.

A funny thing about DC DSA - they are very much not urbanists due to lower class people getting priced out.

How many thousands of my tax dollars has he given to the same funk band?

I wouldn't say Frumin is a joke for Ward 3. I would just say he is a joke -- an abject embarrassment to the city, his family and himself. He is another virtue signaling, intensely mediocre white clowncilman who has reduced DC QOL and destroyed hundreds of millions in business equity. Unless defeated, he will continue to do his best to bring violent, drug addicted Section 8 tenants, homeless people and bike lanes to Ward 3, all bc he allegedly had a black law firm colleague (at some 10th tier, no-name law firm) say he didnt want to live near him (Frumin). That just means his partner had common sense. Im white, and I dont want to live near Frumin.

I will not abide this libel of the greatest elected pickleball visionary in this jurisdiction.

Put some respect on his name.

Frumin has been in office during the cancellation and removal of bike lanes in Ward 3. He is the only Councilmember to see a reduction in bike lanes, possibly in history.

As for the section 8 and voucher tenant issues, that is on Bowser for pushing them into ward 3 aggressively and on the companies that would prefer to have voucher tenants than non voucher tenants.

I am no fan of Mr. Let's Build a Hockey Rink but get your facts right.

Which all goes back to he lets literally everyone walk all over him and just goes along to get along, which is a terrible character flaw in a politician.
