Inspired by a resolution from ANC 5B, @ANC1B will be considering a resolution calling for an immediate overhaul and fix of the 311 system at tonightโ€™s monthly meeting
DC's 311 app has been broken since May 1, which isn't acceptable for something residents rely on to report sidewalk issues, missed trash pickups, and broken streetlights. I got curious whether the outage actually showed up in the submission numbers. So I pulled the open data. ๐Ÿงต

Unfortunately NIMBYs have prevented WMATA from pursuing this strategy by tying up proposed projects in court. Redevelopment of part of the Takoma parking lot has been blocked for decades.
Randy is right, but also WMATA is not maximizing all potential real estate dollars that it could. WMATA should be one of the biggest landlords in the area, if not the biggest.

As Councilmember, I will take on the rats. We all know rats are a big issue in Ward 1. I hear about it every day from my constituents.

c100 is a nimby group and their questions are hilariously biased and the serious mayoral candidates politely disagreed with them. โœ…

Reading through these C100 questionnaires and surprised to see @repoyedc not support home rule and argue we need site-by-site input to ever build more housing. This is how we lock in displacement and exclusion. 1/

The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard โ€” casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said heโ€™s โ€œentitledโ€ to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

Instead of apologizing, Jen Kiggans doubled down on these despicable comments that she proudly endorsed. Virginia deserves better.
Jen Kiggans to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: โ€˜Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.โ€™ 1 in 4 Constituents in VA-02 is Black. Jen Kiggans continues to double down:

The racist comments proudly endorsed today by Jen Kiggans warning House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to โ€˜Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginiaโ€™ are disgusting and beneath any elected official. I grew up in the South. I know what these racist dog whistles mean.

The third picture here is a healthcare worker who has to drive across town to get to work. Instead of allowing more homes near Sibley Memorial so she can walk, @OPinDC wants to do keep her trapped in her car for hours every week.

Incredible @ggwash article about Ward 3's history of racial exclusion, how zoning perpetuates it, and what we can do to fix it (build more homes). The history here is particularly ugly. Not just keeping people off color out but forcibly evicting an entire black neighborhood.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed use urbanism is illegal to build in most of DC

Really comical how hard some folks tried to stop the McMillan Reservoir development. Playground has to be near the top of DPR playgrounds, decent place for east side families to meet up with west side families (note sand pit sand is everywhere in the playground)

Incredibly, this is illegal to build in 67% of DC. That needs to change.
Fun fact: This is illegal to build in most places in most states. That should change.
