It's pretty telling that the only defense used by recall opponents is the 100 percent false assertion about it being funded primarily by Republicans. Notice they never defend Allen's policies or even like to speak his name.

It the strategy of the terrified.

She sells pot. Pot does nothing positive for a large percentage of the people who are using it. That contributes to the general decline of our city.

She is part of the problem. She’s just a single tooth on a single gear of a machine filled with such sprockets, all turning and rotating to accomplish the work of ruining the quality of life in this city. Idle youth with ready with access to drugs and no inclination to obey the law because they know they won’t be prosecuted anyway.

It’s a recipe for what we are living with right now. And she’s helping to cook it.

Got it. So by the same logic, liquor stores, bars, and restaurants should be blamed when they are broken into, stolen from, and vandalized. You could rewrite your entire post replacing "pot" with "alcohol." If you are going to take a stand, at least don't be a hypocrite.

Yes, keep trying to equate a restaurant that serves wine or cocktails with dinner or a bar that serves beer and pub food with pot stores with drug addled zombies loitering and pan handling in front all day long. Continue saying those things are EXACTLY the same.

Keep doing that. Please.

ok, there are restaurants with alcoholics loitering and pan handling in front of them all day long.

I didn't know that pot was the same as opiates? Or that alcohol is NOT a drug that can have detrimental impacts?

FWIW, I don't think the city enforces pot regulation sufficiently, but I still won't engage in victim blaming. "Shouldn't have worn a short skirt" - guess that's your stance. Again, keep it consistent.

Keep trying to make fetch happen.

OK Regina, keep eating those Kalteen bars.

This is concerning

I'm still really steamed about Nadeau accepting her priority access to those first COVID vaccines "as an example to nursing mothers" but allowing DC to effectively deny her Ward 1 constituents (even the elderly and those of us with major risk factors) access to the shots for weeks because we're apparently too "privileged".

Nadeau, your middle-income constituents have been working damn hard for a small sliver of home for our families in this city and you have destroyed our efforts to keep our neighborhood clean, safe, healthy, solvent, and generally livable. Shame on you for cynically and hypocritically profiting at our expense.

Are you saying there is something wrong with the laws the council passed regarding these drugs? Perhaps they led to issues that contribute to crime?

Most predominant issue leading to increased crime seems to be decreased arrests and decreased prosecution if you follow the crime statistics (thank you DC Crime Facts). Stop the catch and release, actually bother prosecuting people. If drugs are to be blamed, go with the illegal ones; basic cannabis isn't causing people to murder people anymore than alcohol is. PCP? Sure, but it's illegal. Drug wars over the drugs that are actually still illegal? Yes, absolutely.

Is smoking pot in public a nuisance? Yes, particularly the odor, though public drunkenness is a nuisance and drunk driving is dangerous and kills people. People in this thread are conflating basic cannabis with other kinds of drugs that cause other kinds of issues both in terms of behavior and in terms of illegal drug trade.

FWIW, I don't smoke or use cannabis whatsoever, I'm just irritated by faulty science like pretending alcohol isn't a drug too.

Is this recall being funded primarily by republicans like the Charles Allen recall? I am a ward 1 resident and think Nadeau is terrible and I am a democrat.

Nadeau who has been in office since 2015 says public safety is her top priority.
"I work closely with the police and all of our police commanders and made significant investments in homeless services and support for substance abuse disorders," she added.

Spare me. On Mt. Pleasant Street in heart of Ward 1, there are now multiple mentally ill people living on the sidewalk. At least one often screams irrationally and harasses pedestrians---I saw her stalk a guy down the street two weeks ago yelling angrily at him while he begged her to leave him alone. The 7-11, which recently closed, had become a hub of hard drug activity---with people sitting on milk crates outside (not even in the alley but just out on the street) openly shooting up. There was a stabbing between the mentally ill substance abusers. I used to think nothing of walking down the street at 9 pm to go buy a quart of milk but now I feel decidedly unsafe walking alone at night.

Adams Morgan feels the same way.

If it's the same woman I'm thinking of, she is dangerous and has attacked people. I'd carry bear spray.

Alas, daytime is no safer.

Resident of Adams Morgan for decades, felt safer in the 90s.

As someone else who was here, Adams Morgan was significantly safer in the 90s

Also here back then, agree 100%. It was safer and cleaner when weed was still illegal.

Seriously- why would you live in a place like that? Why would you raise your children in a place like that if you had other options? Is being in a city that important to you?

I just don’t get that.

I see her car parked illegally at least once a week, which is pretty galling from someone who demands that everyone else either ride a bike or take public transit.
