[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chehs elections have become coronations..I can't imagine why anyone would vote for her if there is halfway decent competition. Quality of life in ward 3 is really sliding, and she seems obtuse to it.[/quote]

How so?

I see a new pool coming to the neighborhood.
All of the schools and libraries have been rebuilt.
We have better sustainability initiatives to keep DC resilient.

What we need is more people living in the Ward so we can have better food choices and vibrancy. What is killing us right now are the choices in neighborhoods that pull business away from our commercial areas to neighborhoods like H Street, Navy Yard and the Wharf. If our businesses cannot draw more, particularly for lunchtime, then our commercial areas will continue to suffer. Cleveland Park, for example, is simply dying. There are more and better places to go, other than the Uptown Theater, in Van Ness, Chevy Chase and Cathedral Heights. It is a structural issue, and it isn't going to change unless or until we figure out how to bring more daytime lunch traffic to support those restaurants. Running a food option that is viable for 1-2 seatings in the evening simply doesn't work.[/quote]
