Jonah @anotherjonah.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This empty lot across the street from a metro station is probably the ideal location for housing to be built in DC.

Jonah @anotherjonah.bsky.social · 23/09/2026None. It's a good idea. As you dig deeper it gets worse. If your Commission has $50k in the bank then goes through redistricting and splits 5 SMDs stay one and 4 SMDs go to another ANC the money all stays with with the 5 SMDs. Neighbors in the 4 lose that money which is their tax dollars. 010
Jonah @anotherjonah.bsky.social · 23/09/2026More challenging is the inconsistent and arbitrary rules set by OANC about what ANCs can give money to through grants. OANC infamously blocked giving grant money to an installation discussing red lining because it wasn't specific to just that ANC. 010
Jonah @anotherjonah.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Each doesn't get $20k, they get an amount proportional to their population. Some sit on $100k+. During the pandemic I tried to get 4C to give away everything (~$16k IIRC) and couldn't because some wanted to keep it in case of future needs. 210
