Good god. He might be the most tone deaf elected official in DC’s history.

Charles Allen is the most tone deaf.

But the campgrounds in the parks have to go.

It's tomorrow - come let your feelings be known. I'm going to ask him why an alleged sex offender is residing in the Wells Fargo in the vicinity of so many schools

Drove the family through Tenley last Saturday after dark. We did not stop in Tenley for dinner; it’s definitely gotten much seedier.

Also lots of homeless people loitering around. Felt seedier than before. Have things gone down hill? Is this the new norm?

So when you were walking around, were you not also a rando loitering and hanging out? How were the rest of us to know the difference between you (proper, not loitering) and the randos (seedy, loitering)?

By the way they are dressed, hygiene and the way they are acting and they aren't eating food just hanging out. They don't look like college students, seedy is a good word.

What do college students look like?

not like crack heads screaming to themselves

These out of boundary students at ex-Wilson create a real problem in the Tenkeytown community. Can’t they be sent back to their assigned school if they continue to shoplift, use or sell drugs, and commit mayhem?

Exactly - this is where most of the violence stems from

I'll say it for those that don't have the stomach too....sometimes, too much "inclusivity" is a bad thing. Cultures don't mesh. It happens throughout history. Wars were fought over this.

We tried, let's get back to the mid 2000s when DC was peak.

A rich kid from Wesley Heights would get his a** beat if he attended a school in Anacostia. Oil & Water don't mix.

Wilson class of 2004 here, I promise you there were just as many if not more out of boundary students at Wilson in the mid 2000s "when DC was peak."

Just because a kid from Wesley Heights wouldn't be welcome in Anacostia (a proposition I'll grant you for the sake of argument) doesn't mean kids from Anacostia shouldn't be welcome in Tenleytown, though.

If they are
Robbing the CVS or harassing people, then yes, they aren’t welcome. They are welcome in jail.

When one is so enraptured with one’s own voice and opinion, it’s hard to listen to others.

Kids from other DC neighborhoods who obey the law, follow the rules, and put in the work are welcome at Tenleytown schools. Otherwise, not.

Are you somehow under the impression that the only kids at Deal or J-R who don’t follow the rules, obey the law or (especially) “put in the work” are the out-of-bounds ones? I live in the neighborhood and send my kids to these schools and I am certain that’s not the case.
