NEW: We defeated a lawsuit seeking to block new housing on upper Connecticut Avenue NW. The lawsuit challenged zoning changes that will allow multifamily housing in the DC neighborhood with the fewest affordable units. We’re fighting for more homes to drive down housing costs for everyone in DC.

Hey @ggwash.org, has @mattfrumin.bsky.social answered your question about the proposed FLUM yet? Every ANC in Ward 3 has a proposed change, and I would argue not nearly enough. This issue will be before the Council next year and voters deserve to know where their Councilmember stands on the issue.

Sigh. As I recently wrote for @51st.news, clearing snow is part of the social contract. But when our government does a mediocre job of it, so too will D.C. residents. How can you threaten to fine residents if you can’t do the job either? 51st.news/everything-y...

We might love seeing snow come down, but let's be fair: we're not very good about shoveling it once its on the ground.

Great interview @gawain4anc.bsky.social did with an outgoing commissioner. This answer on how Roric is leaving because he can't afford to stay in the neighborhood with his growing family really highlights how exclusionary neighborhoods become self-perpetuating. buff.ly/3Bp5P5X
Q3: Why are you retiring after only one term in office? The neighborhood needs you!

A3: My family needs a bigger living space sooner rather than later and, unfortunately, it became clear very quickly that it wouldn’t be feasible to stay in my single-member district. So I decided not to run for a second term. It’s frustrating. It’s a policy failure when families can’t stay in Cleveland Park, or any neighborhood for that matter, because of housing prices. We need to build more housing so that people can stay here, move here, live here. It’s vital for growing community. But people oppose even the idea of it because they fear it will bring their own property values down. That’s selfish and antithetical to growing community.
