RSS FeedFenty Visit To Chinatown
Adrian Fenty, who will certainly become our next mayor, visited Chinatown last week to meet with civic and business leaders in the area. He wants to make DC more of an international city, bring small businesses to Chinatown and preserve affordable housing. What does the visit signal about a future Fenty administration? We think that downtown living has improved dramatically over the last five years but those residents who live downtown will still need to persistently make their interests known to the new administration. GP Living hopes these visits continue long after November is but a glimmer in the rear view mirror.

I wish he would have said “small quality businesses” because there is plenty of small business shlock in DC.
On what site is he talking about affordable housing? Land in DC is very expensive.
And what kind of small business is he talking about? A small business is one with 40 employees.
I hope he doesn’t try to do everything and fail at every single one.
Relax. This is the same puppies-and-apple-pie nonsense every mayor-elect has peddled since Walter Washington. As soon as the DCPS bureaucracy hands Fenty his gluteus, he’ll go back to fondling his Crackberry and spouting more patronizing rhetoric. Nothing to see here.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
“He wants to make DC more of an international city, bring small businesses to Chinatown and preserve affordable housing.”
Sounds like a recipe for de-gentrification to me…
