311 isn't going to do anything, unfortunately. I'm donating to her opponent.

I don't imagine her opponent will take our quality of life any more seriously. Either of them.

It's ethics. Bowser is all about pay to play. Robert White isn't like that. We would have seen it in him as a councilmember if he was doing that.

OK fine but Robert White is no friend to a livable city for middle class families. At the end of the day he will make things far worse for us. I wish we had a moderate besides Bowser to vote for too but we have only Bowser, Robin Hood White, and Wide-Eyed Conspiracy Theory White. With those choices the reasonable mom holds her nose and votes Bowser.

Are you suggesting that Muriel "Thumping Base" Bowser is making DC lovable for the middle class? Even this latest debacle aside, what are you smoking? She's the one sinking the ship.

I think PP only meant to suggest that while Bowser is bad for middle class families, the other candidates would be even worse.

I don't follow. All the candidates say good-sounding things, but Bowser caters to her donors and allies. What has Robert White done that I shouldn't trust him?

EDM is not culture. EDM is teens on drugs jumping around with glow sticks to the same beat for 48 hours straight.

No actually, this is not the norm. I have lived in DC for 25 years and have never experienced this.

Always nice to hear from an old white person who resents the diversification of the city. Sorry, but BIPOC people are allowed to have fun. Perhaps you should insulate your house better and then you would not hear it

Pretty sure the EDM scene is predominantly white, and the festival is largely impacting Black neighborhoods. Nice try!

That's a crappy excuse for an arts scene! Suburban teen basement noise on steroids!

Yeah all those suburban teens who go to 21+ alcohol fueled concerts.

There was a weather thing going on which made this worse than you'd normally expect: https://twitter.com/MatthewCappucci/status/1521068979288170496?t=HjsWhl9CBTEQqx0lbV15Xg&s=19

Anecdotally, I've got friends right by RFK who reported very minimal noise but people much further away heard it, presumably the temperature inversion is why.

You should educate yourself before offering your opinion. House music was created by black people in Detroit and the dance music scene has always been a part of black and queer identity for decades.

I am educated, and I'm not talking about dance music. My goodness calm down.

As a council member, he's funded important priorities, pushed for / passed legislation that's helping.

For example: paid family leave - the mayor proposed diverting some of the money for that. We'll see where the budget lands, but White came out pretty strong against that. That's a pretty big one for middle class families. Unless you're talking about "DCUM middle class" / 500k+HHI?

What do you think the “DM” part of “EDM” stands for? You were clearly talking about dance music. The modern “EDM” scene grew directly out of the Black culture of House and Techno music and is one of the most diverse types of music around.

And Elvis Presley ripped off Black music - did that make his music Black?

A round the clock EDM rave, put on for profit at the parking lot of a decrepit stadium, with people pissing in residential alleys, does not translate to vibrant community.
