[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GGW is a shell of what it used to be. There’s a lot less content on the site now. I think they’ve hit some funding problems as the YIMBY movement became more progressive and started embracing things like rent control. [/quote]

Yes, it's a bad sad to see their decline.    I think the decline of blogs generally hurt them.  Even disagreeing, I enjoyed the well-written articles and the old comment section.  Good history lessons for those new to DC.

I disagree slightly in the exact issue: I think young urbanists (which I'm not) are interested in both YIMBY and progressive political views outside rent control and the such. GGWash tried generally (and failed many times) to restrict itself to housing issues.  The demand just isn't there.[/quote]

They have funding issues because Alpert turned off the money spigot when he left, and they can't count on the same 40 supporter lemmings to float them forever. They stopped accepting money directly from developers after (rightly) realizing it was a horrible look, though they're still clearly astroturfing for developers because their board is full of them. It's all a grift.[/quote]
