Ivanka Trump and family are crummy neighbors in Kalorama

There goes the neighborhood:

Well according to the church parking thread the neighbors should just ignore the no parking signs. The neighbors were there first and it's their neoghborhood.

The neighborhood is not an island! It belongs to everybody equally, why would those who were first "own the neighborhood"?

Why would those who were there for the past three months "own the neighborhood"? Because it sounds like that's what Ivanka and fam are doing.

So classy.

Whining about the street parking? Don't they have garages and driveways there? That is sad. Poor people!
What kind of neighborhood is that? No garages?

Suburban people are awesome.

They were excited to shine a spotlight on their neighborhood? That's ridiculous. Why would they give a shit about Ivanka Trump's opinion of their neighborhood? She moved there - doesn't that say enough about what she thinks of it?

And I'll bet you this - she had no idea the secret service had the no parking signs posted. She has no control over that. She is from a city. I'm sure it doesn't occur to her that people with garages and driveways ALSO want there to be street parking.

I'm no fan of any of the Trumps, but this is completely stretching things. The article was ridiculous - who gives a shit if Don and his wife wrote a note on fancy stationery?

Agree. The whole article makes these people seem like a bunch of Richie Riches that can't believe their new neighbors aren't falling all over themselves with excitement to meet them. Like it's the first time they've ever encountered people that don't give a shit about them.

Yeah, having tons of huge SUVs blocking your street at all times sounds absolutely idyllic.

No one is saying it isn't annoying for them but they come off as pretty ridiculous in the article. The bit about the stationary makes me think the writer wanted these people to seem silly and out of touch.

+100. I am the first one to criticize Trump and his entire tacky family when deserved. But this article and the neighbors quoted sound ridiculously petty. Ivanka has no control over the Secret Service, for heaven's sake.

This was an episode on Madame Secretary.

I used to rent an apartment in Kalorama so I've read the articles WaPo has written about the Obamas and Trump/Kusnhers moving to the neighborhood. I have to say, there is a consistent "look at this rich, stupid @$$holes" tone to every article they've published about the residents of Kalorama. Someone there really doesn't like the people living there. Odd given that Bezos just bought there.

These should be "at WaPo" and "in Kalorama" - tired and not writing clearly.

Well this is a NIMBY neighborhood in the first place. She wasn't wanted there anyway, and she's done nothing to try to change that. 95% of us don't want her father in the White House, either. And you know what, I'm sure she can tell the Secret Service to try not to act like such assholes. I'm SURE she could. Take away two or three SUVs and the situation would be much improved.
