Agreed.

No one, not even Henry Cohen, is running on a defund the police platform.
Yeah, in the words of Bryce Harper, "That's a clown question, bro."

Revisit this thread in two days. Until then, Frumin, and leave it at that.

I disagree. Look at his votes on the ANC and his actions with Lisner Hiome - he has been pretty consistent in his support for more affordable housing, more density on the avenues and better transportation options. His DCPS advocacy is second to none in this race.

Goulet sends his kids to private school in Maryland. He literally couldn't care less what happens with the schools.

Nobody knows what Goulet believes. A major dark-money group has dropped a quarter million dollars into an "independent expenditure" to benefit him via signs, mailers and online advertising. Before that he was an unknown.
Surely those benefactors expect something in return. We won't know until after the election, if ever, what it was.

- High density corridors: supports higher density housing/commercial corridors along major avenues like Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Connecticut Ave, but does not want to up-zone single family neighborhood areas.
Several areas along Connecticut Avenue (Chevy Chase, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park) and low-rise historic districts. Upzoning the avenues sounds ok in theory but practically speaking, they can’t alter historic areas substantially.

Duncan wants much more density, except in neighborhoods like the Palisades.
Isn’t MacArthur Blvd a major avenue?
