The new chair of the Woodley-Cleveland Park ANC is a loud-mouthed "Density Bro," very involved with GGW and Ward 3 Vision. He supports high density development in the neighborhood while favoring zoning changes to hollow out SFH zoning where it exists. Yet while he rents a pied a Terre in the in his ANC district to nominally keep a DC address, he lives most of the time at his principal residence, a single family home he owns in Calvert County, Maryland. Talk about shameless hypocricy.

Not shameless. Just like all of the rich liberal urbanites, talk about density, and then the pandemic strikes, they fall back to their parents suburban home where most of their stuff is anyway.

But you should live this lifestyle!!!!

Not his childhood home. The DC ANC commissioner bought the MD home as his primary (but not his legal) esidence, where he lives most of the time while lecturing his "constituents" about the need for density. ANC must stand for Absentee Neighborhood Commissioner.

If his house has a confirming loan underwritten by Fannie Mae then he had to sign a representation that he would use the house as his primary legal residence for at least 12 months. If he did not or is not, then he committed mortgage fraud because it would have otherwise been underwritten as a second home with a higher interest rate.
