[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to analyze why GGW causes such visceral reactions in me. Maybe because they have such subtle, pernicious methods but such blunt tool effects? They just really push a button with me.[/quote]

Do you think that the people running GGWASH are insincere, or do you just think they are wrong?  Genuine question.[/quote]

They have no respect for their constituents. They are carpetbagging, failure-to-launch types who want to turn Ward 3 in to Neverneverland.[/quote]

So by this I assume you are referring to electeds who have some connections to GGW, not the organization as a whole?[/quote]

They are an extension of the organization. The organization wants to impose changes to Ward 3 that are not needed or wanted. Take Connecticut Ave for example. It already has a bus route and metro route. There's no shortage of public transit options. There are parallel bike lanes in Rock Creek Park. And say you throw all of that out the door, there's still no evidence of demand for bike lanes. But what we do know is that the businesses that would be affected by the bike lanes don't want them. Greater density. Who in Ward 3 want this? People live in Ward 3, pay higher property taxes, etc. to escape the density. Beyond that, many of the existing multifamily units struggle to find tenants. So I see GGW as trying to ruin Ward 3. [/quote]
