[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] OP is just like everyone else who pretends to be a liberal until it affects them.[/quote]

This is such a garbage way of interacting. I’m pretending at something? How about we talk about the quality of ideas and thinking and leave the ad hominem attacks out of it. Or is it more important to you that you identify who is properly in your tribe or not?

I want this city to be attractive to top talent and top companies and to be high growth city. I also want the city to massively increase its housing stock and public transit, and not require parking spaces for new construction.

I want these things because there is competition among cities to attract the highest earners, who disproportionately fund public services. I want these things because homelessness is largely solvable.

I don’t really care about whether I satisfy your tribal labeling.

As others have noted, the claims this will do a damn thing for homelessness is contra to all the evidence all across the country. It will have a marginal impact on making the city even less attractive for high growth employers. That, in my view, is bad.

What is it that you are after? How do you want the city to become (even) better?[/quote]

Lol. OP thinks conservative policies will make DC most attractive. I’m starting to think he can’t be for real.[/quote]
