None of them want a lot of questions.

Perhaps he will ostentatiously bike there? The DSA crowd will refuse to be impressed.

As someone upthread pointed out, Frumin drives to all of these events but parks a block or two away so no one sees that he drove. Proof:

That picture of him on his bike sure is something.

Hopefully the meeting will be streamed, that is a tiny space for a meeting that likely will have a lot of interest. The UDC space was fairly full at the meeting following the shooting at Connecticut and Brandywine.

Anyone who attends this meeting is a racist.

This dumb snark of yours is pointless, unproductive and obnoxious. You're like a damn gnat. Enough to be annoying but incapable of actually doing much of anything.

Have heard Frumin tell this story too. Then laughed about it with an AA colleague who grew up in Ward 8. While white lawyers are more than willing to pay $1M to live in a tiny brick rowhouse in Glover Park, that is NOT the definition of success to a lot of AA professionals who grew up in very similar aged rowhouses scattered across the District. To them success is 5000 brand new square feet of SFH built by Toll Bros. in Upper Marlboro. Like my elderly mom in Georgia, who grew up in old houses with hardwood and radiators. She has been perpetually baffled by my love for old houses---to her the definition of upward mobility was being able to have central heat and wall to wall carpet.


And then the white liberals on Council will say "these poor black urban kids have no hope, no future, no role models" - except they do. DC has produced lots of successful black entrepreneurs and professionals. But like you said, they get out of the city as fast as they can.

Frumin has this weird racism fetish. He keeps telling this decades old story about a colleague who could not buy a house in AU Park because he was black.


It’s important to remember that in Frumin’s story, it’s not that his black friend couldn’t buy a house in AU Park, it’s that his black friend didn’t want to. Then Frumin speculated that it was because his friend didn’t want to be around so many white people:

“I said, ‘Come look at this place; it’s really great.’ But he never did, never said why, and it puzzled me,” Frumin recalled. Years later, he came across an article about the ordeal of “buying a home while Black,” in which the writer was reluctant to live in a neighborhood where few people looked like him and his children.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/...an-example-all-land/

It’s just a weird story, weird speculation, and it’s weird that Ward 3 voted in someone like this. But Frumin’s kind of a weird guy in general, he was still doing social distancing as a councilmember in 2023, having ANC members stand in his front lawn during the winter to do their swearing in:

Wait a minute. So Frumin gets the brush off from one of his coworkers 50 years ago. Turns out the guy just doesn’t want to be best buds off the clock. And Matt comes to the conclusion that it was actually . . . . “racism”? Now he’s forcing old ladies on Connecticut Ave to live with drug addicts in their building to make amends for racism that never actually occurred. This guy is damaged goods.

A separate meeting with each of them is a good idea. One meeting with all of them is a cluster. This is Frumin’s way of filibustering so he doesn’t have to take a lot of questions.
