This is the welcoming Ward 3 that Matt Frumin promised you. Promises made, promises kept!

Why the hell not?

These kids know the city council and mayors office intentionally created conditions where kids face:

- zero consequences.

Why not break shit and rampage?

Guess DC politicians want it this way.

LOL

This is also what you get for having 32% of JR "at risk youth" mixing with wealthy NIMBYs. It's like oil and water.

Just make the schools in other wards better and stop forcing diversity

Where do you get 32% from? It makes sense. Pre-covid - Tenley was not the dumpster it is today and I did not witness Wilson kids committing theft or throwing bottles at cars or smoking weed. Not sure why it went downhill.

directly from the DCPS website for JR

You sound like someone who just moved to this city and only knows it from how you imagined it. Jews are new to upper-NW? Did you know a much larger portion of the student body of Jackson-Reed (then Wilson) was black a few decades back?

The difference is, when I saw a student caught shoplifting ~2000 (for a couple items, not openly stripping shelves), a bunch of police cars immediately showed up. They took pictures of him and banned him from the store, took him to the office at Wilson, told him he was doing time if he was caught again. Nowadays? I saw a student openly grab something in front of a police officer. Even after the police officer stopped him, he acted like it wasn't a problem, and just said he didn't have any ID on him.

The lawlessness is what's new. If you think black students are new to Jackson-Reed, then you really have no clue about the area.

So things have changed as everywhere does but what strikes me, having lived here as a youth and returned decades later, is how much it has stayed the same.

100% this.

Do you really think that people who choose to live in DC are triggered by large groups of African Americans YES, or could it be large groups of seriously misbehaving teens LOL ONLY THE BLACK ONES ARE CONCERNING? You're so clearly a tedious NW DC apologist, a overly defensive JR parent, or both. NOT SURE WHAT A NW DC APOLOGIST IS BUT DEF NOT A JR PARENT

So you can hop inside people's minds and spell out what they are thinking in ALLCAPS?

Shouldn't you have been at the Chevy Chase Civic Core tonight complaining about the city's plan to trade you one brand new community center and library for a little bit of affordable housing and how that will just be the absolute end of your world?

What is the “Chevy Chase Civic Core”? Do you even live in this area?

It's the phrase that triggers people like you who refer to it as the Chevy Chase Commons.

Huh? No one refers to it as that either. Way to out yourself.

Did you click the link? It's to the ANC website. Which has a whole page dedicated to the Civic Core. A term used by lots of folks in the area to describe that area w/ the library and community center. Here's another from a group of different backgrounds of area residents. Here's one from the Ward's CM. The ones who call it the Commons and bristle at the "civic core" are those that that signed the NIMBY petition and tried to enforce restrictive covenants established by a white supremacist over a 100 years ago.

No, because I'm actually ditching this area, but you enjoy! (cue "the suburbs are welcome to have you pearl clutcher" comments-thought I'd spare you the effort)

Fair enough. Enjoy it!
