[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call and write Frumin and the mayor’s office, too. Ask them to act. Don’t just throw up your hands.[/quote]

There have been many meetings with ANCs, Cheh, government officials, MPD re: these issues for years. Groups of concerned residents have met with Bowser. The WP has written many articles since the Sedgewick Garden series in 2019. Things have only gotten worse. There is so much money in play and so many layers of corruption. Frumin ran on a platform to expand affordable housing.

The poster who said more buildings will tip to become majority voucher until some point in the future when everyone will be moved out to reno and flip to condos may well be correct.

An important interim step would be to ask the ANCs to vote on resolutions supporting a moratorium on new vouchers until the city can develop reforms to this program.  Frankly, the ANCs are stocked with many crazy leftists who are supportive of all these progressive concepts run amok.  The ANCs need to be put on record for the voters to see. [/quote]

Good idea.[/quote]

very good idea. These poorly administered vouchers have pretty much made a humming, multi faceted urban community completely dysfunctional. So much for vibrant city living and all that.[/quote]

Prior tenants are being replaced and encouraged to move on. Draw what conclusions you will. The neighborhood quality of life is impacted for those in SFH, too.

If middle class families move out, especially from W3, the prior tax engine, and CRE is a fraction of what it was previously in terms of revenue, where do the city funds come from? Those 2 things have never been in play before in DC, there were always workers downtown and Ward 3 was stable. Surely there is some plan, what is it? [/quote]
