Frumin has this weird racism fetish. He keeps telling this decades old story about a colleague who could not buy a house in AU Park because he was black.

It’s important to remember that in Frumin’s story, it’s not that his black friend couldn’t buy a house in AU Park, it’s that his black friend didn’t want to. Then Frumin speculated that it was because his friend didn’t want to be around so many white people:

“I said, ‘Come look at this place; it’s really great.’ But he never did, never said why, and it puzzled me,” Frumin recalled. Years later, he came across an article about the ordeal of “buying a home while Black,” in which the writer was reluctant to live in a neighborhood where few people looked like him and his children.

It’s just a weird story, weird speculation, and it’s weird that Ward 3 voted in someone like this. But Frumin’s kind of a weird guy in general, he was still doing social distancing as a councilmember in 2023, having ANC members stand in his front lawn during the winter to do their swearing in:

Have heard Frumin tell this story too.  Then laughed about it with an AA colleague who grew up in Ward 8.  While white lawyers are more than willing to pay $1M to live in a tiny brick rowhouse in Glover Park, that is NOT the definition of success to a lot of AA professionals who grew up in very similar aged rowhouses scattered across the District. To them success is 5000 brand new square feet of SFH built by Toll Bros. in Upper Marlboro.  Like my elderly mom in Georgia, who grew up in old houses with hardwood and radiators.  She has been perpetually baffled by my love for old houses---to her the definition of upward mobility was being able to have central heat and wall to wall carpet.   [/quote]

Wait a minute.  So Frumin gets the brush off from one of his coworkers 50 years ago.  Turns out the guy just doesn’t want to be best buds off the clock.  And Matt comes to the conclusion that it was actually . . . . “racism”?  Now he’s forcing old ladies on Connecticut Ave to live with drug addicts in their building to make amends for racism that never actually occurred. This guy is damaged goods.  [/quote]

Housing First and the dc voucher program precedes Frumin by many years. [/quote]

Maybe.  But we’ve never elected someone who’s more interested in prioritizing non Ward 3 residents than existing residents.  He thinks he’s in an At Large seat.
