Doesn’t matter because Trump won and he said he is going to take over DC and dissolve local government.

I voted for Harris but this is the rare silver lining in last night's results.  The progressive left has returned DC to the Marion Barry 1990s when the Control Board was created to take over.  Tony Williams, the Control Board CFO, then went on to be DC's most successful mayor.  He was the architect of the prosperity and growth the city experienced through his terms.  The momentum kept going through the kleptocracy of the Adrian Fenty/Bowser Green Machine but now has run out ---both because of mayoral ineptitude and the far-left progressives on the DC Council.    I would be happy if Trump fired the USAO and put in a tough on crime federal prosecutor, made sure that the judicial bench was balanced out with former prosecutors instead of just former defenders and legal aid lawyers and started untangling the tangle of pro-tenant laws that have had the aggregate result of creating and perpetuating the safety/crime chaos that now besets many multi-family buildings---when dangerous and violent individuals cannot be evicted.[/quote]

It will be interesting to see if the new congress implements Initiative 83 if the council declines.

Also watching to see if the new administration mandates RTO for feds and whether that gives a boost to downtown.
