[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Buwa Binitie, an influential local developer and prodigious political donor whose projects have won significant city funding, was awarded approximately $1.6 million in LIHTC funding in 2020 to redevelop Cascade Park Apartments. By October 2023, DHCD agreed to take back $1.2 million in 2020 credits, and in exchange the agency awarded Binitie $1.36 million in 2023 credits, according to a covenant filed with the Recorder of Deeds.

“The project had cost overruns and interim income shortfalls during construction that resulted in a budget shortfall,” the covenant says.

The Cascade Park complex is owned by a company made up of Binitie’s Dantes Partners, H Street Community Development Corporation, and the Crosby Family Trust—a trust associated with Dan Crosby, owner of Scope Property Management, whose managed properties have shown a pattern of neglect and squalid conditions.[/quote]

This is disgusting. Are you getting something out of this, Bowser apologist? Anywhere else, people would be going to jail.[/quote]

DP. Would still take Bowser over any council member. Yes, it’s a low bar but DC won’t let anyone good have any power in this city.[/quote]

Christina Henderson would be a step up.

You’re right though that she probably is too sensible to be electable.[/quote]

Christina is a complete joke. She is useless on the council more than any of the others named. [/quote]

Christina is not the kind of representative that feels the need to put her name all over whatever the flavor of the month is. She is very smart and would be an excellent mayor, but, yes, she’s not a good politician.[/quote]
