[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowser too beholden to developers who are maximizing their own personal profits at the expense of DC citizens [/quote]

That is my concern.  [/quote]

Honestly, building new apartments in DC is the only good thing that she has done. I'm voting for her since housing policy is the most important thing for future growth. She is quietly the best YIMBY mayor in america.[/quote]

Except lower and middle class renters in DC, many of whom speak English as a second language and are non-white, have been displaced from the more affordable apartment buildings in Ward 3 as developers get $$$$ benefits converting the buildings into luxury apartments or disastrous Section 8 voucher buildings that offer no real support services for the voucher recipients (compare all the voucher buildings around Forest Hills on Conn Ace to Ward 3’s much more successful shelter which gets support from Friendship Place). Developers and Bowser it seems couldn’t care less. Are these results intentional or mismanagement or do developers want the vouchers to fail after they’ve reaped the $ benefits so they can convert the buildings into more luxury apartments and condos?
