Stabbing at The Brandywine in 4500 block Connecticut Ave. NW DC

[Anonymous]

I would like to see Frumin's talking points on vouchers. When I called his office last week his aide mentioned them, but what came across to me was there would be more responsibility on landlords. However, this is a city generated problem, starting with illegal value of these vouchers. The "solution" to the disaster of upper Connecticut, and potentially other buildings, may include (but needs to go much further) than telling landlords to "do something".

Well, you better buckle up. It’s about to get cold so more new neighbors will be arriving soon.

The problem is that you can’t put the people placed through Housing First in the cross hairs bc of a huge systemic problem in the government. We are not seeing the forest for the trees.

I don’t understand your second paragraph.

Is there any way to learn which buildings are eligible for voucher residents? My building is fine but I want to know if it could potentially turn to sht like other places in the neighborhood.

All of them are required to take people w/o consideration of how rent is paid. This included condos rented out.

So is it just dumb luck that my building hasn't flipped? It could happen anywhere in the city

yes, it has. the density and size of buildings on connecticut and wisconsin makes it more obvious, but yes.

This is PP. My building seems like an ideal candidate for this horsesht, so we’ve been lucky so far.

Who’d you vote for in ‘20? The other Ward 3 candidate presciently called for an immediate voucher moratorium. Unfortunately he lost. Just think how much better it would be if we could set the clock back two years. Choose better next time.

I was in a different ward then. Plan to Anyone But Frumin this time.

ABF

Frumin was elected in '22 after Cheh announced she wasn't running.

My god, he’s screwed this up so badly in just one year? We’re doomed.

To be fair, the city was running an illegally over subsidized / zero scrutiny voucher program for a while. They even managed to turn that nice little hotel--days inn?-- into a nuisance unhoused/rehused. Now frumin just jumped on board. I think"big" landlords in DC have responsibility--like the ones who let property lie fallow. But the city needs to write a far more extensive reform to this program than just saying landlords needs to address nuisance tenants.

A bigger question for me is why Ward 3 voters rejected the candidates who said "this is a problem and we need to do something to address it" and opted for the candidate who said "everything's great, we need to double down on all these policies."

The only thing I can think of is that the folks in single-family homes are so insulated from lower socio-economic folks in the apartments that they just didn't care that the city's policies were destroying those people's lives.

I do not think that is the case. People living in the homes of Conn and Wisc still utilize metro, grocery stores, etc. Many have parents who retired into these buildings, or kids who live or lived there.

There was no Ward 3 Council election in '20.

Not a bad idea. Maryland is much better run than Dee-Cee (which will never, ever be a state).

That would have been far from the most dangerous coming out of the current Council.

Do you have utilities included? The city prefers that, simplifies things. So older rent controlled buildings have swapped out those tenants for vouchers in many cases.

You're talking about Krucoff, the Republican candidate in the general. Eric Goulet was the Democratic candidate running in the primary, and he said that there were serious issues with the voucher program that needed to be addressed (for which he was relentlessly trashed and called a bigot). He also wanted to focus on improving Ward 3, such as trying to solve the issue of it lacking the Pre-K that the rest of the city has. By contrast, Frumin's focus was about how Ward 3 needed to sacrifice more for the rest of the city. Voters chose Frumin, and here we are.
