When YIMBYs show ignorance & latent racism. The adversely impacted deserve engagement & consideration when zoning changes directly affect them. YIMBYs declare Black neighbors as "usual suspects" "obstructionists" "NIMBYs." Continuing pattern of dismissal. youtube.com/watch?v=_jLKYM…

I’m not sympathetic, however, to the complaints from the usual suspects who always oppose change - fighting apartments on empty lots, safety measures in school zones, and bike lanes on 17th St.

Washington City Paper
Washington City Paper@wcp·
D.C. officials quietly waived $1M in fees at a Van Ness apartment complex, where residents face ongoing neglect. Experts say it’s part of a larger problem: “Landlords are playing the system.” Here's the full story. buff.ly/4hAQ5ws

The Center for Social Housing & Public Investment@1socialhousing

Housing production is key to solving the affordable housing crisis. However, we must disabuse ourselves of the notion that this can be accomplished through massive deregulation and public subsidization of the private sector. socialhousingcenter.org/blog/we-cannot…

DC is leading the nation with our investments and strategies to build more housing -- but there is more work to do to produce more supply, lower barriers to entry, and improve affordability. 🏘️ I spoke with housing experts and colleagues from around the country at the National Housing Summit hosted by the National League of Cities and Mayor Bowser about how we deployed our strategy in DC to revitalize our Downtown: enhancing public safety, implementing legislative and budget incentives for conversions and productive use of space, and establishing and bolstering our public-private partnerships.

.@CMBrookePinto continues to attack the political rights of DC residents and protestors in the District with this latest bill. Shame on the councilmembers who supported the original draconian version of this bill. We demand public input!
Councilmember Brooke Pinto@CMBrookePinto

Here in the nation's capital we champion our First Amendment rights to protest, assemble, and have our voices heard.   Government also has a great responsibility to protect the well-being of District residents in their homes and their rights to tranquility and privacy.   Today, the Council passed my emergency bill to provide reasonable limitations around the use of sound amplification devices in residential communities and protect the tranquility of residents in their homes and neighborhoods.    I will be working with my colleagues on permanent changes to our noise ordinances. As of today, our emergency bill: 1. prohibits amplification devices when targeting a residence for a demonstration in a residential zone between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. 2. prohibits throwing projectiles at residential properties when intended to cause fear, intimidate, or retaliate against residents

DC Council voted on an emergency basis to regulate the first amendment, requiring that expressions of protest can only take place during certain hours. The only two to vote against this were Z. Parker & T. White.

@ChmnMendelson : Neighbors didn't sign up to live next to politicos who give away public land to fave developers, who pass bills that drive up the police state, neighbors didn't sign up to live next to corrupt officials. Maybe the neighbors will ask these corrupt people 2 leave.

#News Ward 8 DC Co/member Trayon White entered formal “not guilty” plea to bribery in brief court session today. Judge Contreras grants 60-day period to Nov 13 before setting trial date. White surrounded by supporters; defense atty Fred Cooke (bow tie) declines comment. @wcp

@atrueblood All DC planning map changes were done without a single impact study completed. No environmental study. No socio economic impact study. No displacement studies. No infrastructure study. That is the state of "planning" in DC & being taught in the halls of @Georgetown @GUAlumni

@tuckcomatus Or they WMATA could just make ADA compliant bus stops, fulfill the law and keep the stop. The reductivism is amazing with self proclaimed YIMBYs.

The genocidal tragedy of the vast undercount of Palestinian fatalities, injuries, illnesses, starvation and those still under the rubble in Gaza continues to be used by reporters everywhere, including progressive ones.

@tuckcomatus More homes at what price point? When will youjump off the YIMBY bandwagon (and all the naivety built in) and go full SHIMBY. If you want prices to come down, building more of the same ain't it.
