[quote=Anonymous]What did people think of the Post's article on the CC neighborhood in DC resisting affordable housing? https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/07/09/chevy-chase-dc-affordable-housing-community-center/ “We’re not against affordable housing,” Chevy Chase Voice co-founder Sheryl Barnes said in an interview. “We just want some proof that we need more of it in Ward 3 and this isn’t a fig leaf for a developer giveaway.” I didn't know the CC demos or history either: "Chevy Chase has less than 1 percent of the city’s dedicated affordable housing units, according to D.C.’s Office of Planning. Its residents are also overwhelmingly White in a city that is 45 percent Black — and that’s by historical design. Founded by Francis G. Newlands, a former U.S. senator and avowed white supremacist, the neighborhood kept Black people out for decades through racial covenants that barred their homeownership." [/quote]
