I'm not picking exclusively on the current council and executive -- this is over decades. We are educated and smart, but our leadership doesn't act like it.


Silver Spring should incorporate as a city and bring decisions like law enforcement, safety, and economic development to a more local level.

Sorry to hear DTSS fell on hard times. I lived there for a few years in the mid 2000s. I found it convenient to my job on Capitol Hill. I also liked the variety of shops and restaurants in Ellsworth St, as well as the community's diversity.

Probably not

Just stop. Someone was killed and you are making jokes about the county charging for parking. It’s gross and disrespectful.

Jesus. Sounds like we have a serial killer on our hands.

The block of Georgia Ave near this garage is full of bars and nightclubs that are best avoided on weekend nights. There has been lots of violence from patrons of those establishments. Society in particular seems to be a big problem. For example:

There does tend to be a heavy police presence around there because of all the issues.

We need to vote all these insane people out of office. Kristin Mink won't even acknowledge that the county is experiencing rising crime, for example. They're so clueless about how worried most people are right now about crime.

They got charged $2 to park there first too, right?

Terrible. I hope they’ve put up cameras since the last one.
