Those of us living mid-city noticed that.

We also noticed that she continues not to support our schools or plow our streets.

We also notice that she does not attend any events in our neighborhood.

And we vote.



Cool. But you do know how local politics work, correct?

In other words, would you and your neighbors be willing to vote for a non-black or non-Democrat in the next Mayoral election?

Closest one to Bowser's new home in Colonial Village appears to be the one at 5505 5th St NW, it's 3 miles away from her.

For me the closest one is 3 blocks away. How about the people who live 3 miles away stop telling me about how it won't affect me?

How about the people with hardly any FARMS and no homeless students, whose only disruption in their schools comes from rich kids (the person posting above) stop presuming to try and lecture me about how they know so much more than I do about impacts on my own neighborhood schools that are already 99% FARMS and over 10% homeless, and stop lecturing me about how anti-poor or selfish or whatever I supposedly am when they obviously have accommodated far fewer poor folks in their own neighborhoods?


One of the shelters is 4 blocks away from me. Am I allowed to comment on it? What exactly do you want to do with the homeless? Eat them? Ship them to VA? It's city living, and unless you live WOTP in de facto Maryland, you are going to have to get used to this.

Otherwise, pack up your shit and move to MD.


^ "pack your shit up and move" - see, that's exactly what's wrong with the attitudes in DC.


+1. Someone should remind previous PP that, unless she is a Native American, she better pack up her shit and move wherever it is her folks came from

Fascinating.

Pure luck, or some insider trading?


I also noticed that west of the park, the situation is the same as for Bowser - the nearest shelter is 2+ miles from Deal and most of the JKLMMs... Amaaaaaazing coincidence!

Ward 1/2/3 shelters are all jammed as far southwest as possible.


Lady, you notice the difference, correct?

Bowser IS the Mayor.


And as mayor, she personally shouldn't have to deal with "the poors" in her own neighborhood? As the mayor, she's allowed to pull her own NIMBY move?

Is that what we're saying here?


Well, apparently that's what she just did. I don't see anyone questioning her move.

Okay. Tell us how you think it will affect you? What are you afraid of specifically?

You could draw a roughly 1 mile radius around the Verizon Center and 4 of them would fall inside of the circle. They aren't exactly spread around. Not to mention that it doesn't take into account that several wards already have a lot more shelters and homeless people than others. It's not by any stretch an equal apportionment. Whoever says otherwise is trying to pull some kind of fake "feel good" thing.
