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.

Why is this Mary person repeatedly being called out and belittled? Why is there such a Trumpy-style taint to Smart Growth spin?

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.

Is Mary in the room with us right now?

It’s ok, you are safe here. We can work this out together.

"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://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, hey, the smart growth "groups" are just so transparent.

Ward 3 Vision lists their steering committee right there on the homepage and has pictures of members. You do a Google search and it lists their address right there as well.
GGW has a link to its staff and lists them all right there
Cleveland Park Smart Growth lists their steering committee right there when you go to the About Us section.

Chevy Chase Conservancy...they list NOTHING.

Only GGW provides some information on governance but (as a whole DCUM thread makes clear) provides very little transparency on their funding sources. Ward 3 Vision and CP Growth aren't real organizations. No incorporation, no bylaws, no boards of directors, no disclosures on revenues and funders.

OK...but at the very least they list the principals of the organization.

Please, provide all the information you indicate above on Chevy Chase DC Conservancy...or maybe the minimum which is just who the principals may be.

If it is a DC 501c3 then I am pretty sure someone can look up their registration on the DC Incorporation website. Perhaps that will be enlightening.

GGW is a non profit that files 990's.
Ward 3 Vision is a volunteer community group.
Cleveland Park Smart Growth is a volunteer community group.

That is because they don't have revenues or funders. They are community groups. Neighbors like you and me.

Believe it or not, people do actually volunteer because they believe in something.

Prove that there is money involved.
