[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might win more of them over if you stopped calling the SFH owners in historic Cleveland Park entitled racists. Sounds like you don’t actually know many of them.  [/quote]

Not sure who this is directed to. I don't see anyone calling them racists.[/quote]

The chairman of Cleveland Park Smart Growth, who is also the principal force behind the Ward 3 Task Force redistricting plan, has been claiming for some time that Cleveland Park's historic district somehow perpetuates racial exclusion.  This is pretty rich, considering that Fabrizio Ward was the top pollster for Donald Trump.   And his polling work with Manafort and Kilimnik to help a Putin puppet return to power in Ukraine doesn't exactly say "inclusion" and "equity", either.  What is the Russian word for chutzpah?

There is a difference between saying that the zoning and historic districts are rooted in racism and exclusionary tactics and calling current residents racist, which no one has actually done, despite the claims here to the contrary. Fact: the zoning and covenants are rooted in racism. Does that mean we should continue with the racist zoning practices that keep people out? The covenants were banned. Why not also adjust the zoning?[/quote]
