[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this thread just manufactured outrage? Read the City Paper article. He basically regurgitated Federal statistics on voucher holders and then noted there have been issues with the homeless voucher holders that have been moved into Ward three apartment buildings.

And if you read this article, maybe concerns over housing homeless people isn’t that overblown: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-housed-the-homeless-in-upscale-apartments-it-hasnt-gone-as-planned/2019/04/16/60c8ab9c-5648-11e9-8ef3-fbd41a2ce4d5_story.html

Basically this entire thread feels like a campaign by some staffer for an opposing candidate to drum up drama and outrage. It’s good politics, but really it all seems overblown. These comments are not racist, at least looking at this from a high level, and it seems like a bunch of bs to find some scandal prior to election time. People can quote legitimate statistics and they can voice and address concerns without being racist.[/quote]

The City Paper reports what he wishes he had said. If he only quoted “legitimate statistics”, he would also have signed the letter to the Chamber requesting that they release the video in order to extinguish the controversy. He is being very defensive, which tells me at least that what he said is as bad as all of the other candidates in attendance are making it out to be.[/quote]
