The problem is that you can’t put the people placed through Housing First in the cross hairs bc of a huge systemic problem in the government. We are not seeing the forest for the trees.
I don’t understand your second paragraph.
Is there any way to learn which buildings are eligible for voucher residents? My building is fine but I want to know if it could potentially turn to sht like other places in the neighborhood.
All of them are required to take people w/o consideration of how rent is paid. This included condos rented out.
So is it just dumb luck that my building hasn't flipped? It could happen anywhere in the city
yes, it has. the density and size of buildings on connecticut and wisconsin makes it more obvious, but yes.
This is PP. My building seems like an ideal candidate for this horsesht, so we’ve been lucky so far.
Who’d you vote for in ‘20? The other Ward 3 candidate presciently called for an immediate voucher moratorium. Unfortunately he lost. Just think how much better it would be if we could set the clock back two years. Choose better next time.
I was in a different ward then. Plan to Anyone But Frumin this time.
ABF
Frumin was elected in '22 after Cheh announced she wasn't running.
Does he live in close proximity to the crimes?

Everyone complaining here should ask that person to run again and contribute to his campaign.Who was it?
He also called for ceding DC in to Maryland.
Not a bad idea. Maryland is much better run than Dee-Cee (which will never, ever be a state).

You're talking about Krucoff, the Republican candidate in the general. Eric Goulet was the Democratic candidate running in the primary, and he said that there were serious issues with the voucher program that needed to be addressed (for which he was relentlessly trashed and called a bigot). He also wanted to focus on improving Ward 3, such as trying to solve the issue of it lacking the Pre-K that the rest of the city has. By contrast, Frumin's focus was about how Ward 3 needed to sacrifice more for the rest of the city. Voters chose Frumin, and here we are.
