[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Instead of offering $2000 rebate to low income people for e-bikes, and using tax dollars for bike lanes and giving away public land to create “affordable housing” (which OP told me was 20-30 units starting at $80,000 annual income, which hardly addresses poverty), the administration might try social programs spending, after school program spending[/quote] The problem is not just a money allocation problem. There is little to no follow-thru on the expenditures. For example, I witnessed a DC jobs initiative for which the phone number to call was disconnected, the emails from job-hopefuls were never answered, and the website was never updated. Leadership means not just allocating money but establishing expectations of excellence and monitoring to ensure they are met over the long haul. That's what is missing here.[/quote]
