Who do you think is going to run the schools? Parks? Trash collection? Policing?
Your guys aren’t running it now. All that’s running is their jobs for life. I HATE DC government and would welcome DC becoming a federal city
There are schools, and parks, and trash collection, and even if they’re not doing their jobs as well lately, police. You really think absolutely nothing works in D.C.? What city works well by your standards, then?
Did your kids go to DCPS schools K-12? East of the Park? Do you avoid whole swathes of the city? Do you feel like you could take a stroll by yourself in the dark in pretty much any neighborhood?
I guess Akron, or Dhakar are just as bad so its fine?
That's some pretty low standards for the capital city of the most powerful nation on earth.
oh ffs. get off twitter and into the real world. yes, my trash gets picked up twice a week. I can call 311 to schedule additional pickups. My kid goes to a DCPS MS doing a great job with him. We spend tons of time in DPR pools in the summer. Our block regularly gets city rat abatement. and on and on.
Obviously DC has some issues but so do all cities. DC isn’t in the fiscal crisis it was in when it was last subject to a control board, not even close. The systems that need support are notably those where federal involvement has actually created some of the management difficulties - particularly criminal justice. If a Congressman from Idaho would like to propose a bill to meaningfully improve the administration of justice in DC, let’s see it. Meanwhile frothing at the mouth about traffic cameras and crime in DC (meanwhile taking no steps to appoint us judges in a timely manner) just shows this has zero to do with administering a city the way the last control board did.
The nice thing about some Idaho Congressman, is that they probably see more of the city than Ward 3 bubblers. Just because the city has one OK middle school, doesn't mean education is fine. Unless they eliminate the height limit and make it truly big enough for a "Deal for all."
Mike Simpson famously travels throughout all four quadrants of the District by CaBi and clime scooter just to meet residents and listen to their concerns. Gimme me a break with this stuff.

So the question becomes, is it really Home Rule if the Party manages to control what you can vote on?
Yes, Home Rule means local decisionmaking, it doesn't mean every local gets everything they want.
I hope the party loses this and ranked choice voting is adopted, because it makes sense. But let's not pretend this is a Home Rule question. If you want to vote in the Democratic Party primary, it's very easy to register Democratic just for the primary. You can switch to whatever other registration you like right after that. If you just don't like the fact that the vast majority of voters in D.C. happen to be Democrats, that's fine, too, but that alone is not a reason to wipe out their right to vote on local affairs.

Everyone gets to have a hobby, but I think that knitting would be more rewarding as a hobby than constantly professing hatred of the place you live.

My kid went to Deal and Wilson and did great. My other kid went private. Mind your business if you don't know.

You seem really unstable. Maybe move to Virginia and feel better.
No thanks. I’m nicely ensconced on a private road in what you fondly call NW Whitopia

I can't tell whether you hate your fellow DC residents AND yourself, or just your fellow DC residents.
Right? This is a DCUM type: the self-hating DC resident. Seriously please just move.
