[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moved to the District in 1990 - coincidentally, the same year that GGW bro intern was born in Indiana.  My inlaws and husband have lived here since the 60s. You know, the riots and all.

I have a hunch that in the near-term DC will feel like it did during the *late* Barry years, post riot and post intense crack wars … but still suboptimal and looking for revenue. With an overlay of ever-present graft and hesitant developers.  I predict DC will again shuffle along for some years, until there is a big political change analogous to Tony Williams ♥️  This would lead business and banks to have the confidence to Do Big Things downtown, a la Abe Pollin ♥️

One thing that is clear is that this will require grown up, boring elected officials who understand big picture financials and aren’t jerked around by the short hairs by the likes of WABA and 4-person homeless nonprofit and donations

GGW bro is insulated from this environment because he never leaves his 4-block area, doesn’t have kids and doesn’t own a home.   People like my family are insulated to this decline because we live in an enclave like historic Cleveland Park and can pay our way out of bullshit with private schools, locked garages and beach houses and we can weather the new taxes.

Two kids in a crosswalk on Georgia Ave we're just hit by a car this morning.  Have fun ragging in GGW bros and WABA short hairs.  But what are you proposing to make this a safer place for people to live?[/quote]
