Meant to type:

Dead on correct. You would have thought that reopening Newell Street was the biggest issue facing the council. It was a few loud people on twitter who wanted to congregate in Acorn Park. The actual residents (working people who dont tweet all day) actually wanted it reopened.

Or the amount of pixels yelling about Drag Queen story hour.

You can be all for LGBTQ rights, and still think this was getting more attention than say falling test scores in MCPS, or the sky rocketing crime rate.[/quote]
Newell Street is probably the most embarrassing episode that I can imagine. It is easy to plot out a Parks and Rec eposiode lampooning these clowns. And yet, they are undeterred and unembarrassed. It’s wild.[/quote]

The Newell street thing is actually exactly what a city council should be doing- taking a look at quality of life things like giving people more access to open areas.  The fact that a few neighbors made a stink about having to drive an extra few blocks and won was what was embarrassing.  [/quote]

I havent seen a statement or even a tweet from any council members or council members elect about the shooting in Friendship Heights last night, or any other notable crimes we hear about.  But plenty of spilled ink about Acorn Park street closures of all things.   What a complete nonsense thing to even worry about for more than about 3 minutes.   [/quote]isnt it in DC?[/quote]
