That is a "period of significance" |
Yes. Why all the way to 1964? What's significant about anything that happened after, I don't know, 1920? |
Guess what? A dude (who seems to be using his last name only) is posting on NextDoor about the historic district and trying to get people upset about it. (Spoiler: they're not.) The writing style is very similar to here. A google search shows that he lives in Chevy Chase and seems to be some sort of housing lawyer. |
Update: he seems to be using his middle and last name. If you're on NextDoor and live in Chevy Chase, you should check it out. |
I'm really confused as to why you think this is relevant? You are saying that there is a poster on other forums who you believe also posts here about the same issue? Why would that be surprising? |
I've posted on here about this filing being a crock of bullshit perpetuated by the Mary Rowse Never Change a Goddamn Thing crew and I am not Winston Sale. |
Because it’s likely the poster is the same as here. It’s what we all thought — some dude who couldn’t give an F about DCUM- has come here to post and lobby for his pet interest. He’s not just another mom (or occasional dad) regular but someone intentionally targeting this site with the objective of trying to influence opinion. No mom has time to be singularly focused on housing density in Chevy Chase. It is obvious that he’s an outsider with an agenda. He is/was an attorney for the Federal Housing Authority. And anyone from the Chevy Chase community who is in favor of the historic district should head over to Next Door and reply. Hint: his name sounds like a two-word city in North Carolina. |
Down, Bob! |
OK, so let's assume it is the same person. According to the thread he lives in Chevy Chase, no? Is your assertion that he shouldn't be posting on DCUM on a topic that is of direct relevance to him because he is not a mom? Let's pretend he were female and everything else were the same. Would it be OK then? |
Why is this Mary person repeatedly being called out and belittled? Why is there such a Trumpy-style taint to Smart Growth spin? |
"This Mary person" signed the application for historic district nomination on behalf of the "Chevy Chase DC Conservancy". If you didn't know that before, now you do. https://planning.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/op/publication/attachments/Chevy%20Chase%20HD%20nom%20COMPLETE.pdf https://chevychaseconservancy.org/ If they asked me, I would tell the "Chevy Chase DC Conservancy" that their webpage at minimum needs a "About Us", but they haven't asked me. I am a PP who is not a lawyer or any thing else supposedly describing the person who is posting on Next Door, and I have never posted on Next Door, so whoever that person is, they aren't me. |
Because the YIMBYs are tantrum-prone children that get very mean when they don’t get their way. |
Sounds like Mary Rowse is posting on DCUM...including the all the posts of "who is this Mary character?". Classic play dumb DCUM move. |
If you want to keep to a strict definition for DC Urban Moms...well, let's just say the owners wouldn't be very happy because a lot of people aren't moms, are not female and don't even live in DC or the DMV area. |
She was involved in the prior attempt at this in 2000's and was the one who signed the petition that was submitted. So that is a matter of public record. She also runs the ChCh Listserv and moderates the hell out of people whose viewpoint is contra to hers. |
