[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a special ANC 3D meeting yesterday with the deputy mayor Kihn regarding the new schools.

I live in Foxhall and I am in favor of the projects. 90% of those who spoke were against. They were either above 70 or with houses overlooking Hardy Park. It was super embarrassing. There were so many disrespectful comments in the zoom chat. I felt ashamed of my neighbors. I didn’t speak up because who wants to have such vicious enemies in the community? Not sure if that’s why almost nobody spoke up in favor. Maybe everybody else is just letting these people air their grievances without caring anymore?[/quote]

It was absolutely appalling. Rarely have I seen grown adults act so poorly, making out that they are some kind of persecuted, under-represented, disenfranchised minority group when in fact they are among the most privileged homeowners in the city and when the Deputy Mayor was giving them a full hour of his time to answer every one of their disrespectful and ill-informed leading questions.

Someone in the comments was complaining that the dog park would be overrun by public school kids - that they think a park for dogs should take precedence over public education shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone whose been listening to them over the past year or so. The only case they are making is for their entire damn neighborhood to be razed.

We can only hope that the mayor's office get the message loud and clear that there is a real problem in Foxhall and that the neighborhood must be dragged, kicking and screaming, back into the city to which it actually belongs.[/quote]
