It’s great work. And the best part is the political pendulum will never sway even close to moderate in this city which prevents any tough on crime policies from coming up.

The issue is that he had a canned answer he thought was appropriate for the question asked, and it wasn't and it was offensive to the people of color and everyone else who was there (except him, of course)

I don’t think you should be speaking for what is offensive to people of color.

If I was voting in Ward 3 though, I’d probably be voting for the lady from Palisades. It’s important that all constituencies in the city have appropriate representation.

So vote for the lady who chose to live in the most isolated, transit poor, no affordable housing island in the city?

LOL, no thanks.

Palisades has lots of affordable housing on MacArthur Boulevard. And depending on how broadly you define Palisades, there are a bunch of apartment complexes around Ward Circle.

That's not 'affordable housing" but rather lower cost market rate housing. There is a difference. Your ignorance is quite a tell.

The fact that you think this is an important distinction is hilarious because it shows that you have lost the plot. It’s not “affordable housing”, it’s “cheap market rate housing”.

LOLOLOLOLOL

Affordable housing is a term of art where there are government subsidies. Sorry you don't know enough about to topic to understand that. Just stay in your Palisades cocoon and let the rest of us deal with the city's issues.
