[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO, the first to go will be Crestwood's super-grandfather legacy status. After that, it should be Shepherd next, but they currently have the political muscle to block it, so they would throw Bancroft under the bus. However, if any half-credible challenger can appear, then Bowser will be out after one term, which means Shepherd loses a big part of its political clout.

If I were in your shoes and thinking about where to buy in DC to ensure access to Deal, I'd pick the Lafayette or AU Park area. They seem safest. Alternatively, continue to live wherever you want and build equity now, and then just plan to move when future kid approaches school age. [/quote]

You think Shepherd has political clout? I thought the hill was getting the clout these days. [/quote]

Nah, Bowser is in Shepherd Park's pocket, and she gives them favors. As long as she remains in power, Shepherd is safe. But once she is gone, Shepherd makes sense to get realigned. [/quote]

Shepherd did just fine under Williams, Fenty and Grey. It's an important neighborhood politically for any mayor. [/quote]
