Anyone who can commit to reducing crime and preserving quality of life for middle-income households. Anyone who doesn't think it's fine for educated families to have to leave the District so their kids can be challenged in school.

That’s the pipe dream. The reality will be more “equity” minded woke Charles Allen types who would rather let rapists out of jail early than tackle the rising crime and poor schools. I say that as a liberal. I wish this city council gave more of a fk about the people who pay for everything. But no. It’ll be more subsidized housing, in places like Res 13, to perpetuate poverty for generations and more cancelling AP classes so our kids can all fail together.[/quote]

Unfortunately, I tend to agree with you.  I miss David Catania and Tony Williams.  All of the economic good that happened in the city over the last 20 years is due in no small part to the vision of Tony Williams, who was a force for creating economic economic development on the District's underutilized waterfront---thus today we have the Wharf and the Navy Yard.

But NO ONE on the current council, with the possible exception of Brooke Pinto, has any business experience whatsoever and they view the city's economy not as something to be preserved and enhanced but as something to be pillaged. [/quote]
