#1 - HANDLE ON CRIME!!!! Get tough!
So you can park your car in public space for $35/year but others can't take up the equivalent space with a tent? Cool.
I don't want them arrested or anything. We need to get these some assistance (mental health counseling, housing, decent food, etc)

Nonstarter given who the voters are right now. (Not young people passing through, but older African Americans.)
I’m a white gentrifying millennial and I loathe Bowser, but I would vote for her for 10 more elections before I vote for anyone remotely similar to Mayor Stop and Frisk Guiliani.

I worked in the Fenty administration. I absolutely believed he was corrupt. He made it seem like he was the great savior. Our great savior was Anthony Williams.
Williams and actually Vince Gray were great mayors. Fenty and Bowser horrid.
Agree with this.
We need someone new though. Id add dealing with homelessness/public camping/nuisances to the list of difficult issues to tackle, along with reopening schools and covid response. Also repurposing downtown as live/work spaces.
Repurposing empty office space as live/work for soon-to-be formerly homeless people is a great idea and probably saves us money in the long run too!

Have any of you meet Robert White? The guy is genuine. You may not like his perspective but he's a real deal and I think he'd do great as Mayor.

+1. Would love to see Rancine run! Not sure he’s interested though (and frankly, I don’t blame him).
I get the impression that Charles Allen eventually wants to run for mayor as well, not sure he wants to run against Bowser though.
What on earth would be Charles Allen's platform? "Embrace crime to keep kids warm"?

But will they do worse than Bowser, though? No.

Robert White is on education committee and is almost Nadeau like in his ability to create the illusion he's actually doing something.
Verdict? It's Bowser's job until she no longer wants it.
Why doesn't anyone want to run against Bowser though outside of the usual suspect / "controlled opposition"? Hell, even Pinto could be a better Mayor!

You may be right. But I don't have to like it.
