Look at the Washington Area Bicyclist Association's 990. Hardly anyone gives to them. Their main donor is the city government. Potemkin village.

GGW is a shell of what it used to be. There’s a lot less content on the site now. I think they’ve hit some funding problems as the YIMBY movement became more progressive and started embracing things like rent control.

I am not sure why that is a bad thing. It isn't like what has been done for the last 90 years has been all that successful.


Maybe not their own cars. But they are among the heaviest users of Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Amazon Prime, etc. They've just outsourced some of their carbon footprint to gig service providers and corporations that crowd the streets with polluting vehicles.

And as for "urban vibrancy".... more and more DC voters are finding out just what that has come to mean.



They don't take up any parking spaces, they don';t have to pay directly for insurance, gas, maintenance etc - so they ca afford to pay rent and food etc.


And they have to pay even more in rent thanks to the price-fixing GGW funders!

A group consisting almost entirely of privileged white people doesn't want anyone to know that their main donors are more privilged white people. News at 11.

A number of these GGW underwriters have been sued by the DC attorney general for price collusion on apartment rents in the District. Nothing says affordability and inclusion like price fixing in housing. Greedier Greedier Washington, indeed.

Gen X-ers are currently aged 43 to 58. I think most people would describe that as "well into middle age", not young. Your beef is with Millennials and Gen Z. Though as a Gen X-er myself, I guess it's a nice change to have our existence recognized, instead of the usual going straight from Boomers to Millennials.



Seeing anonymous message boards calling Gen X the kids = almost as good for feeling young as getting carded once or twice a year
