Frumin could throw his weight around a bit on this matter but chooses not to because he’s seemingly scared of angering extremely online white leftists (a tiny portion of DC’s population). He pays zero attention to his actual constituents, who are gonna dump him on his mediocre white ass if just one viable opponent steps up.

Proof of this? Or just conjecture?

The proof is that he has done jack shit about this issue.

It's his literal JOB to convince, cajole, strong-arm, etc. various parties towards policies that benefit his ward. This is how our system of government works.

If he isn't willing to do his JOB, or is putting the interests of residents from other wards above the interests of the residents he represents, he should find another job.

Then you can connect dots.

ANC 3F — which is most affected by vouchers — was not one of the racist parts of Ward 3. Forest Hills was one of the neighborhoods without a covenant prohibiting Blacks and Jews. So if Frumin is intent on righting the wrongs, he could focus on Spring Valley (which did have a covenant) or his own AU park. But he’s essentially Nimbying a d leaving other parts of Ward 3 to shoulder policies that have significantly increased crime and haven’t shown many benefits beyond enriching landlords.
