[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a concrete suggestion of how to fight the Mayor's plan? After all, she has the density bros on her side...  :shock: [/quote]

One idea is that DC can quit electing mayors that are addicted to crack[/quote]

Unless you mean, developer money, do not see this applying to current Mayor. Any helpful suggestions? My issue is that once the wheels are in motion (and the wheels on this density thing are well in motion for Ward 3), they become impossible to stop.[/quote]

Bowser doesn’t seem to be a crack addict.  But in many respects, certainly loose ethics, she is more like Marion Barry than any of the other DC mayors.  She’s not as smart as Barry was, but her administration is nearly as corrupt as Barry’s.  And she’s even cozier with favored developers than he was.[/quote]

Which D.C. mayor has not been close with developers, exactly?[/quote]

I liked Anthony Williams and his relationship with contractors. There was no smoke and mirrors. He told you how he stood and why he signed that contract. You may not have liked it, but he was honest about it and why (MLB/Nats Park)[/quote]

He revitalized downtown from boring tall buildings to exciting tall buildings. That made sense. I think Columbia Heights went too quickly--the whole area around the metro got built up fast and unattractively. I worry that's the goal with Ward 3. the Mayor's ram rodding seems relentless and with no regard to character etc[/quote]
