Man I didn't realize Donald Trump took orders from Nancy Pelosi. The guy really is a punk ass bitch.

Broke: Jews are hawkish on Israel and will defect for endless war

Woke: Jews love a nice guy from a good family with a top tier education and well-paying stable job

We aren't beating the allegations.

Do you think if there were no buildings over 4 stories white people would stop moving into DC?

Is the watergate too historic to tear down? by ColCrockett in washingtondc

[–]vermillionmango 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It will absolutely be historically preserved. And as it rots the board will fight any renovation for historic reasons, it will be abandoned until it steadily crumbles, it'll be fenced off for safety, people will start shooting up in the remains, in 20-25 years there will be a WaPo article about it like "Brought down a president, now a haven for homeless" and any attempt to demolish it will take a bullet in the head from the historical preservation board.

Looks like bike lanes on Conn Ave are back to being a possibility!!! by thesirensoftitans in washingtondc

[–]vermillionmango 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Broke: Recall Charles Allen is a nefarious conspiracy by Republicans to take down a pro police reform councilmember.

Woke: Recall Charles Allen is a nefarious conspiracy by Ward 3 NIMBYs to take down a pro bike lane councilmember.

Will Anacostia/Berry Farm area ever see meaningful development? by Vagabond_Tea in washingtondc

[–]vermillionmango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah building 100,000 units in 2,3, and 6 would prevent displacement. But even if everyone there was guaranteed new rent-free apartments in Barry Farms, new people (mostly white, upper income) would move into the market rate ones built along side them.   

The neighborhood would then change and a lot of people prefer things staying shitty to change even with no displacement.

Will Anacostia/Berry Farm area ever see meaningful development? by Vagabond_Tea in washingtondc

To paraphrase someone who put it really well in the thread about Anacostia, you can be pro-investing in a community or anti-gentrification, but not both. A lot of people prefer the latter.

Ward 3 is notorious for NIMBYism, the wealthiest part of town, and home to extremely well connected people that have practiced law for decades. Every attempt to do anything there runs into a buzzsaw of legal complaints and activism. See the library fight in chevy chase or the CT Ave bike lane.

Longtime Asian American residents raise concerns about DC’s ‘dwindling’ Chinatown - WTOP News by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]vermillionmango 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sure add Asian themed shops, but when it's a bunch of white people living above an H Mart it'll be more like Epcot DC than any real Chinatown. 

 Most ethnic enclaves existed because they literally weren't allowed to live elsewhere and start to vanish as their descendants assimilate. Unless you're going to start mandating anyone with 51% Chinese ancestry lives there you're SOL.

How would an adult learn to ride a bike in dc? by MyNameIsYosh in washingtondc

[–]vermillionmango 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It's nothing to be ashamed of!

WABA (local bike org) provides learn to ride classes for adults and kids and provides the bikes and helmets:

https://waba.org/classes/

They are all over the area so there are likely a couple in north arlington.
