[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]

If you look at the ANC3C agenda for the meeting next week, there are resolutions related to parking on Connecticut Avenue, the bike lanes initiative on Connecticut Avenue, and the development guidelines for Cleveland Park/Woodley Park, but zero on exploring the voucher issue and nothing on safety, with the exception of 10 minutes set aside to discuss potentially establishing a public safety committee. Discussion of the resolutions is a farce because all but one of the commissioners vote as a bloc and they will approve the resolutions, no matter what public input they receive. A voucher moratorium request will never come from this ANC. [/quote]

By not supporting a moratorium the ANCs are literally putting the interests of nonresidents over residents.  The voters need to know this.  [/quote]
