[quote=Anonymous]As a Ward 1 taxpayer, I am horrified by Brianne's coddling of street vendors---who completely block the sidewalk in front of DC USA. Brianne forgets that DC paid millions to subsidize the development of that complex in 2006-2008. Retail stores have it bad enough competing on-line and with DC's laissez-faire approach to combatting shoplifting. But it is made even worse when prospective shoppers can't even make it to the door of DC USA. And the owner of DC USA pays a ton to the District in commercial property real estate taxes. When the revenues for DC USA decline, their real estate tax assessment goes down, and less money goes to city coffers. But by all means let's coddle the mango sellers who aren't subject to any public health regulations or the people selling stolen soap for $6/bar. [/quote]
