Everyone talked about change during the presidential election, so we when are we going to make it happen.” Perhaps when we finally realize we’ve been duped with "hope and change", that the all fluf and spineless left can’t really govern in any sustainable way, that their change is nothing but false entitlement nonsense; collectivists governing by ration and spread the misery doom, and then we finally elect no nonsense law and order local conservatives who know how to govern this small municipality apolitically as it was done before home rule. -Just a thought. “There is to much focus on making DC a bike friendly city and not enough focus on those who know no other way to live.

Does that include black professionals, the President, the First Lady and daughters in that dangerous crowd. Our ward, One, has a plurality: neither yuppies, gays, Hispanic immigrants/US born, blacks (dangerous types and safe types) have no clear majority. It's a poverty/hopeless/nihilism problem, with race being a determinant only because many black people in the city are indeed poor and hopeless, entrenched in a terrible cycle. Same might be said for certain folk--usually young men--in Hispanic communities. I worked in Anne Arundel Co. Md, in W. Va, in NC in Upstate NY where there were and are white people who aren't close to yuppies, Hill staffers, etc. Rather, they are like the ones you see on "Cops." Same problems, though you see more alcohol related deaths, DUIs, domestic. PS–is this city “majority black” now?

Community/lifestyle policing, car theft task forces, gang, etc. But he also knows you can't arrest your way out of the problem. Of course, the solution, if you're still unsafe, is to run away from blacks, "black cities" etc. (or MS 13 types). Country living could be great but for...no jobs nearby, meth labs and rednecks growing pot. It's class, not race. Booker took an untenable, almost Road Warrior situation and is making a difference.

If they can't accommodate different work schedules or people who care for kids and the elderly then they need to be voted out and replaced by someone who can. I've told Jim Graham this many times. tell your elected representatives that the in-person meetings MUST STOP NOW.

Also, can you hand me the remote?
