<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On Monday April 27<sup>th</sup> Mayor
Bowser broke ground on 3825 Georgia Avenue a Deputy Mayor for Planning and
Economic Development (DMPED) negotiated deal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With this deal, conservatively doing the Math on back a napkin,
Donatelli Development would have paid $51 for public-private deals valued at
$464,000,000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is on just 6 DMPED negotiated
public-private partnerships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If that was
not enough, to reduce Donatelli Development’s risks, DMPED has provided
Donatelli Development over 27 years’ worth of tax free land banking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, DMPED allowed Donatelli
Development to sit-on keep of the market publicly owned land during the city’s
prime development years. On top of this the city has provided 20 years of tax
abatements which will have a value of over $10,000,000 to Donatelli Development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All sites sit within 2 blocks of prime Metro
site locations 5 literally atop their respective Metro Stations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course Donatelli Development actually paid
more than $51 for deals worth $464,000,000 but I’m not including contributions
to the political campaigns of D.C. Mayors and Council Members, my focus here is
primarily on DMPED.</span></span></div>

Development Office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This office is typically made up of 25 to 35 real
estate professionals, project managers and supervisors who draw salaries
between $120,000 - $190,000 per year each or about $4,000,000 per year for the
last 9 years or $37,000,000. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another
way to link about this math is that tax payers paid DMPED $37,000,000 over the
last 9 years to give Donatelli Development deals worth $464,000,000 for
$51.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As well, in the last 9 years DMPED’s Office of

<b>DMPED Deals, Affordability Crisis & Housing Discrimination</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Housing
discrimination is at the root of Washington, D.C.’s housing
affordability crisis. The primary driver of this discrimination has been
the city’s Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning & Economic
Development (DMPED) and its deal methodologies. Specifically, the
methodologies used by DMPED in structuring and executing many of its
land disposition deals purposely limits access to new housing units by
Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) certificate holders by
artificially manipulating higher housing prices. In doing so DMPED is
violating the city’s <a href="http://ohr.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/ohr/publication/attachments/Part%202%20-%20Prohibited%20Acts%20of%20Discrimination.pdf" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">Human Rights Law</a>.
A recent DMPED deal in DC’s Hill East neighborhood, illustrates DMPED’s
discriminatory practices. In the Hill East neighborhood a HCVP
certificate pays up to $1,363/month for a one bedroom unit which is the
market price. In this same neighborhood under DMPED’s current deal
methodology, DMPED will subsidized to the tune of over $6.8M in public
subsidy the building of market rate units with target market rents
starting at $1,750/month for a one bedroom apartment. The $1,750 deal
price is being set artificially by DMPED, the price is above market and
structurally baked into the deal. This has been DMPED’s deal pattern
over the last 10 years and is designed to limit voucher holder's access
to housing. A pattern that discriminates against voucher holders, but
also limits the access of working and middle class families to housing.
This is at the root of today’s affordability crisis in the city.</span></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Any
serious attempt to address the City’s housing affordability crisis and
the shameful conditions at DC General will require DMPED’s new Deputy
Mayor Brian Kenner, the Mayor, Council and civic leaders to immediately
restructure discriminatory deal and methods being used by DMPED.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DMPED’s deal methodologies are <strong>morally</strong> and <strong>ethically</strong>
contrary to our city’s values and violate DC's Human Rights Law. These
methodologies not only harm low income families attempting to leverage
HCVPs, but they also harm moderate/middle income families, unnecessarily
destabilizes mix-income neighborhoods, stymies small business
development, job and retail growth in neighborhood business corridors.
Effectively, these methodologies are a tax on housing accessibility as
the old “poll tax” was to voting accessibility under Jim Crow.</span></span></div>

table above highlights how DMPED uses luxury unit price subsidy targets
in its deals to limit voucher holder access to new luxury housing being
subsided by public dollars. Park Place, Highland Park, Hill East and
3829 Georgia Avenue (3829) are DMPED developed projects leveraging
government subsidies. In no case would a HCVP voucher holder (limits
highlighted in red) have access to market rate units at any one of these
projects. In fact, units most in need by HCVP voucher holders, 2 and 3
bedroom units were negotiated and structured by DMPED to be priced 45%
and 30% respectively higher than voucher limits and “market rates”.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DMPED’s
discriminatory deal methodologies are not a recent phenomenon, but
evolved from practices developed and refined in Ward 1’s Columbia
Heights neighborhood (2003 – 2014) to pressure landlords not to rent to
Section 8 voucher holders. The 2008 housing market crash and city’s
subsequent Luxury Condo bailout lead DMPED to bake discriminatory
practices into their land disposition deal structures.</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">(see <a href="http://dcauditor.org/reports/audit-affordable-housing-mandates-development-projects-formerly-managed-dissolved-national-c" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">DCA062013

out of DMPED funded by public dollars. Ironically, fighting this form of
State sponsored discrimination was one of the foundations of DC’s
modern Home Rule movement. Makes one wonder whether today’s Home Rule

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here’s
how DMPED bakes discrimination into its land disposition deals. Instead
of basing its Land Disposition Deals on “Market Rates” as determined by
the HCVP, DMPED determines "Market Rate" by hiring a certified
appraiser and negotiating with the selected developer based on the
developers proposed project in a closed door process. In other words,
DMPED in its deal makiking methodology biases the market on behalf of
the <strong>Seller/Developer</strong> against the <strong>Buyer/Citizen</strong>.
In its Hill East disposition which borders the DC General Homeless
Shelter, DMPED baked in market rental rates of $1,400, $1,750, $2,350
and $2,800 for studios, one bedrooms, two bedrooms and three bedrooms
respectively. These rates are 45% and 30% higher respectively for 2 and 3
bedroom units than HCVP “Market Rate” will pay. And these are the very
units which would be most relevant for providing permanent housing for
families living at the DC General Shelter which just about everyone
agrees needs to be closed. Instead DMPED’s Hill East deal is designed to
price these families out of new construction while the city pays
through other means approximately<strong> $14,000/yr</strong> or <strong>$1,200/month</strong>
to house families in substandard conditions at DC General. Clearly it
makes little economic sense to subsidize the building of market rate
units that are beyond the very tools designed to get families into those
units and then pay again to house those same families in substandard
units. However, if your goal is to limit access to new developments by
HCVP voucher holders this makes perfect sense.</span></span></div>

Hill East, 3829 Georgia Avenue (3829) is another city subsidized project
recently negotiated and approved by DMPED. After allowing the developer
to sit on the city owned 3829 parcel for 6 years DMPED approved a deal
which allowed the developer to shrink unit sizes in the project to very
one small bedroom units. As the <strong>“Unit Size”</strong> table above
shows not a single unit at 3829 would be accessible to a DC General
family. This was not a new pattern for DMPED, in 2010 the developer of
Highland Park Phase II in Columbia Heights was allowed by DMPED to
shrink unit size by dropping 2 bedroom units from the project, reducing
the size of one bedrooms resulting in a project of all studios and very
small one bedrooms. In these cases unit size instead of price directly
is used to limit access by HCVP holders. In the case of 3829 helping to
undermine process on DMPED’s own Park Morton New Communities Initiative.
Again, Hill East, 3829 and Highland Park are heavily subsidized by the
city and the city pays extra to keep them inaccessible to HCVP holders.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Housing discrimination by DMPED should not be dismissed as something reminiscent of the past like the march from <strong>Selma to Montgomery</strong>. It is real today and has a real cost. At Hill East with over $6.8M in public subsidy and $18M in public financing only <strong>25</strong> out of <strong>354</strong>
would potentially be available to address the challenge at DC General
because of small unit size and DMPED price manipulations. This in the
face of what began as a trickle in 2010 DC General today typically
houses approximately 200 families. Since 2008 considering just 3
projects under its control, DMPED has kept approximately <strong>525</strong> units off the market, colluded with developers to drive up housing prices. <strong>30%</strong> or about <strong>158</strong> of these <strong>525</strong>
units were to be set-a-side as affordable nearly enough to have closed
DC General. However, after applying DMPED’s discriminatory deal
methodologies only about <strong>25</strong> out of these <strong>525</strong> or <strong>5%</strong> city sponsored units would be applicable to solve DC General. If we estimate that the city spent <strong>$14K/year</strong> x <strong>200 families</strong> x <strong>5 years</strong> to house families at DC General, we come up with a minimum of <strong>$14M</strong> in opportunity costs. In total that would be at a minimum of <strong>$20.8M</strong>
in discrimination costs not counting other public subsidizes provided
at Hill East, 3829 and Highland Park to keep HCVP holders out.</span></span></div>

discrimination is at the root of Washington, D.C.’s housing
affordability crisis and unfortunately it is state sponsored through
DMPED. The good news is that the first step in resolving the crisis is
simple, follow DC’s own Human Rights Law and remove the state’s
sponsorship for housing discrimination. On a practical level this means
restructuring how DMPED does deals, and forcing DMPED to immediately
base deals on the HCVP rate and change its negotiating position from a <strong>Seller/Developer</strong> bias to a <strong>Buyer/Citizen</strong>
bias. Then and only then can we begin to address with honesty our state
sponsored affordability crisis. This is not just the ethically and
morally right thing to do, but will stimulate overall economic
development by removing DMPED discriminatory “poll tax” on market rate
housing, freeing up more disposable income to support small business
development, job and retail growth in neighborhood business corridors.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">

<h3>
Pimping Millennials & Screwing The Low Income</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">From Lofts to
Micro Units, watch the Public’s Balance Sheet. To paraphrase an old
saying, “If you find yourself stuck in a hole and you want to get out,
first stop digging.” If DC as a city really wants to address our
affordability crisis, we, the Mayor, and Council have to first find the
courage to stop digging the affordability crisis hole. In this case
“stop digging” means ending DMPED’s practice of structuring land
disposition deals which manipulate public subsidies, often low income,
to build overpriced so-called luxury housing transferring public wealth
to a hand full of families. These deals have become “Balance Sheet”
Brothels in which low and moderate income families get screwed through
discrimination and Millennials pimped for their on-demand incomes while
wealth building capacity is being siphoned from both. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This DMPED
structured “Balance Sheet Brothel” is best illustrated in the Hill East
land disposition deal recently signed by the Mayor and previously
unanimously approved by the City Council. If we look at the deal’s Term
Sheet and extract the Balance Sheet data you will see that under DMPED’s
deal the developer will invest $10 in equity and in 2 years at the end
of construction will hold $21M in equity on their Balance Sheet. That is
a 2.1M% return on investment in 2 years. Further, the deal is
structured to provide the developer with an implicit government
guarantee via low income housing bonds. Because of this, the developer
assumes minimal risk and collects $8M in fees for their trouble. You
don’t have to have a MBA in finance to know if a $10 investment can
produce $8M in fees and $21M in equity in 2 years that all the Brothel’s
in DC have NOT been closed down. And some pimping and screwing is going
on. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Mayor and
Council can’t honestly approve this Hill East deal as structured and
claim to be working to address housing affordability and developing a
path to the middle class. This deal and other DMPED deals are structured
to do the opposite. Just follow the balance sheet. A high priced so
called luxury micro-unit rental or pimped out dorm room is design to
transfer future wealth/equity into present day income for the luxury
developer, whose development is being made possible/subsidized by public
spending financed by long term public debt. When the average Millennial
rents one of these units disposal income which could be used for equity
producing investments or stimulus into the overall or neighborhood
economy instead flows to the hands of a few. If a developer wants to do
this take the risk and a Millennial want to rents these fine, but it
should not be propped up by my Government using public land, low income
housing subsidies and discriminatory housing policies. Government can no
longer tell limited options to deal with the affordability crisis,
while continuing to do deal like Hill East. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It’s time to
stop digging and clean-up the DMPED Brothel. Then we can seriously
address our affordability crisis and invest for the future. The con of
touting education reform as an investment in our children’s future,
while mortgaging that future to subsidize luxury units is ethically and
morally wrong. And our government needs to get out of this business. I
know the world’s oldest profession is not going anywhere, but it should
not be the bases of community and economic development in this city. We
need real and health economic growth. I know we have the Mayor and
Council who can do this, let’s close the Brothel.</span></span><br />

<b>DMPED & The Tapeworm vs. DC's Middle Class </b><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
I
fully support the rhetoric coming from the Bowser administration,
“Pathways to the Middle Class”. “We” must find ways to partner with the
administration in achieving the goals of maintaining DC’s Middle Class
and preserving pathways to it. Unfortunately, overall city policies and
those of this administration are designed to squeeze the Middle Class
out of existence and put in place an Apartheid like system made up of
the so-called “Market Rate Class(es)” and the “Affordable Class(es)”
preventing access to the Middle Class. This Apartheid like system, which
I call “Genny Crow” after its great grandfather “Jim Crow” evolved out
of the Williams Administration and developed through the Fenty and Gray
Administrations; however, in spite its best of intentions the Bowser
Administration is the first to formalize structurally “Genny Crow” with
the creation of a Deputy Mayor for the “Affordable Class(es)”, Courtney
Snowden and the Deputy Mayor for the “Market Rate Class(es)’, Brian
Kenner. This split by the Bowser Administration is an honest admission
that DC’s economic development policies over the last 11 years or so
have lacked energy, depth and breadth needed grow, maintain and sustain
“Pathways to the Middle Class” and that most of the economic growth
experienced over the last 11 years of has been consumed or stolen by
“The Tapeworm”. And now in the 50th year since Selma marches, we as a
city are rationalizing and resigning ourselves to a reality that
Apartheid is legitimate government policy as long it is not explicitly
based on racial segregation. Instead of a policy rationalization and
resignation, I urge instead a policy of destroying The Tapeworm ensuring
“Pathways to the Middle Class”.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
I’m often challenged to offer solutions instead of just critiques. Step One must be to <b>starve and then kill the Tapeworm</b>.
The Tapeworm is maintained and sustained by DMPED’s Real Estate
Development office and affiliated New Communities Office. The Real
Estate Development office must immediately be <b>defunded</b>
and assets, some personnel under its control transferred to the Deputy
Mayor for the “Affordable Classes” along giving it management of DHCD.
Walter Reed and St. Elizabeth probably should be spun off. The Real
Estate Development office employs at least 8 people making over $120K
per year plus benefits. Yet, it took that office 7 years to negotiate a
development deal for Hill East. Then leveraging approximately $6M to $8M
in public assets negotiated a deal which will create not a single
Pathway to the Middle Class for a DC family, but will feed the Tapeworm
$28M in equity. Similarly after working the Park Morton New Communities
project for 9 years spending at minimum $20M produced at best 11
apartment units applicable to the Park Morton New Communities effort.
Again not one Pathway to the Middle Class. This same office after
restarting the Park Morton New Communities process about a year ago
recently attended several community meetings(in the last 3 weeks),
basically stated (while collecting salaries of over $120K each) that
they, did not want to provide project timeline dates for Park Morton New
Communities, because they did not want the community and residents of
Park Morton to be able to hold them accountable. WTF?</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
Defunding
DMPED’s office of Real Estate Development and transferring its assets
will not immediately create, “Pathways to the Middle Class”, but it is a
prerequisite. As it will immediately clear key obstacles in path to the
Middle Class, wealth building opportunities and growth in disposable
income for DC families. For example the Hill East deal will result in
$28M in equity for the developer, but zero in homeownership equity for
DC families. Home equity is one of the primary sources of wealth for
entering and sustaining the middle class. The city would have been
better off auctioning off the Hill East site and funding trusts for 100
DC General families of $140K each to help create “Pathways to the Middle
Class”. Another path way to the middle class is increasing disposable
incomes. DMPED’s Real Estate Development office structured the deal at
Hill East to maximize rental rates, directly reducing disposable
incomes. DMPED achieve the higher rents not only by building them into
the deal structure, but by constricting the supply of housing. Delaying
the current Hill East deal for 7 years and purposely sitting on many
other Hill East parcels driving up rental prices by holding back supply.
If the Mayor and Council are serious about affordability and “Pathways
to the Middle Class” DMPED’s office of Real Estate Development will be
dissolved in this budget cycle. The bottom line is that the Tapeworm
consumes “Pathways to the Middle Class’, DMPED’s Real Estate Development
office supports the Tapeworm, so the Real Estate Office consumes, not
supports “Pathways to the Middle Class”; therefore, the office must be
dissolved to create and maintain “Pathways to the Middle Class”. Instead
of pathways for the Tapeworm to suck the life out of the Middle Class.<br />

do the math Tapeworm economics displaces. In Columbia Heights/Ward 1
over 50% of the neighborhood's Black population (all income levels) has
been displaced in less than 10 years and a significant portion of Ward
1's Latino Population has also been displaced. A direct and significant
contributor to this displacement is the Tapeworm and DMPED's Real Estate
Development office. This is the economic development model you are
suggesting for Wards 7 & 8, one driven by displacement and
segregation. Further you seem to be suggesting that higher income people
will only be attracted to neighborhoods undergoing displacement or
undergirded by de facto segregation?<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">

interesting that the Hine School project was mentioned. Under DMPED it
evolved into a Tapeworm project modeled on deals between DMPED at the
lead community development Tapeworm in Ward 1 Donatelli Development. In
order to make this deal structure work DMPED office of Real Estate
Development hid the final Land Disposition Agreement (LDA) from the
public and approved at deal which required the segregation of the
“Affordable Class” from the “Market Class”. Premised on the fact that
the “Market Class” will not pay adsorbent luxury prices to live
integrated with the “Affordable Class”. The Tapeworm requires government
subsidization of Luxury prices in public land disposition deals to feed
and succeed as this deal illustrates. </span></div>

DMPED
land deals are design to feed the Tapeworm at the government/public’s
expense premised on a dual market. This dual market does not just drive
segregation of residents based primarily on class and by default race,
but segregates the “Affordable Class” from economic opportunity. If
DMGEO is going to do its job it must have the District’s driver of
economic opportunity in its portfolio, DMPED’s office of Real Estate
Development and land portfolio. And of course the ability restructure or
cancel Tapeworm deals. I know, I know, like the good people of
Birmingham, Ala. told Dr. King in 1963, be patient, this is way the
system/market is, it will take time to change, good people will also say
to me let education reform work over next 20 years to address economic
opportunity. Or that the only way to grow the District’s economy is to
feed the Tapeworm otherwise they will not develop in the District. The
“Market Class” will pay for segregation, that’s the only we need to
balance the city’s budget and increase our bond rating.</div>

<strong>Bozzuto, the Tapeworm, the Truth?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<strong></strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Columbia Heights has a Tapeworm infestation
which has spread to other parts of the Ward and city. This particular
species of the tapeworm specializes in sucking public benefits, wealth
out of community and economic development efforts in District
neighborhoods. Like its parasitic cousins which can infect humans and
other animals, the symptoms can sometimes be subtle, but usually leaves
the victim weak, fatigued, hungry, nauseated, with vitamin and mineral
deficiencies. While rarely fatal these symptoms will leave the victim
vulnerable to other predators such as Genny Crows. The tapeworm found in
animals and humans is often spread via the feces of previously infected
animals, often when food preparers fail to operate with clean hands.
The community development version is most often spread through city land
disposition deals when DMPED fails to operate with clean hands.
Controlling the spread of tapeworms is done through attacking the
vectors which lead to their spread and treating infected victims with a
medicine called praziquantel. The community development variety can only
be controlled by eliminating DMPED’s Real Estate office (defund it) and
removing all public subsidies from current deals in violation of their
community benefit commitments.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Several years ago, DMPED conspired to allow
<a href="http://www.dkdevelopment.com/" target="_blank">Donatelli Development</a> to use project community benefit funds to help pay
<a href="http://www.bozzuto.com/apartments/communities/washington-dc-metro/nw-washington-dc/columbia-heights#.VUEDJ-GT0_k" target="_blank">Bozzuto Development</a> as property manager at Highland Park to ensure the
highest possible rents possible for the project. These community benefit
funds were proffered to support neighborhood community development
projects such as farmers markets, streetscape maintenance, small
business development and youth entrepreneurial programs. The fund was to
come from 5% of yearly net project rental revenues. That fund when
including Highland Park I & II and Kenyon Square should equal about
$100K per year about one tenth of what the Developer will receive in tax
abatements this year. Compare that number to the conditions of the
streetscape immediately adjacent to these publicly subsidized projects
and you can get a sense of the nature of the impact and symptoms when
your community has a Tapeworm or the vacant store fronts at Park Place
and Park 7. Higher rental prices and lower quantity and quality public
amenities. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Speaking
of public amenities and/or benefits negotiated or management under
DMPED’s Real Estate group, public dollars either pays for or offsite
these benefits and amenities at a ratio of greater than 1 to 1. The
developer does not pay. In fact, this means the Tapeworm profits from
providing(not) public benefits and amenities, the tape worm does not pay
for them. When you consider the salaries and support for the Real East
group and their role as a tapeworm vector, the city would save money and
get better community benefits, amenities and affordable housing just
handing out deeds for public lands randomly on a street corner than
negotiating deals disposition deals through DMPED’s Real Estate group.
The tapeworm is spread now to Hill East, let the sucking there now
begin. Watch were you step, the tapeworm can spread through feces.</span></div>

IThis April will mark the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King. In Columbia Heights like many communities across the nation that day marked the apex of years of fear, neglect and bias of years before and after that day. Fortunately for us in today’s Columbia Heights men and women on that day which marked for many the height of fear, neglect and bias choose to make a vow of a future based in hope, vision and diligence of which we are the beneficiaries. We, this present generation, under our current leadership’s pedagogy of fear, neglect and bias are in danger of opting to turn our backs on the legacy of a future of hope, vision and diligence born on that day for fences of fear and convenience.<br /><br />Unless, this generation quickly finds the audacity of hope, vision and diligence, yesterday January 26, 2008 at Girard St. Park steering committee meeting will mark a key victory of the fences of fear, neglect and bias over the hope born on that tragic day 40 years ago. Council Member Graham yesterday with the assistance of his constituency services director, DPR, a community organization born of the collaborative value of hope, vision and diligence rationalized, twisted, turn and extorted a foundation for a Columbia Height’s future based in physical fences representing symbolic FENCES of FEAR, NEGLECT, BIAS, DIVISION, IGNORANCE and NON-TRANSPARENCY. Instead of using their leverage and knowledge to push and create a foundation and vision of hope and togetherness they pushed an agenda for Columbia Height’s future based in fear. When explaining the park’s new design almost every element was justified in fear not hope.<br /><br />In a community as diverse and complex as ours there is little expectation that it will be easy to forge a common vision for our future nor that we agree on even the more mundane issues. However, no matter how challenging this become, we must reject the Council Member’s siren’s call to accept a Columbia Heights future designed to accommodate FEAR, NEGLECT and BIAS. I urge all residents and stakeholders of this community to join me in continuing to reject this pedagogy of fear, neglect and bias. And demand the Columbia Heights public spaces be symbolic of our hope for a future of hope, vision and diligence reborn almost 40 years ago vs. the current effort by our CM in a fit of convenience to have our public spaces symbolize a future of fear, neglect and bias.<br /><br />Choose a future Columbia Heights designed in Hope and reject a future designed in Fear. Choose a future designed in today’s Opportunities not in reaction to yesterday’s or today’s neglect. Choose a future of our diverse community coming together to solve any challenges we may face and reject the pedagogy of division and fences of biased now being peddled for political convenience. As we celebrate the opening of DCUSA almost 40 years to the date of Dr. King’s assassination and the birth of our Hope, let us not succumb to those who wish to design our future in Fear. It is up to us to Choose.Bro. Nathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08371630831154100852noreply@blogger.com0
