Even if he delivers a grocery and a years’ free food — beware of Jack Evans. His vote to up the levels in the noise ordinance mean a louder neighborhood for all of us. Who cares about a free breakfast when at 5am the trash trucks wake you up.
Downtown is a livable neighborhood with a voting base, yet our day-to-day concerns (never-ending grocery saga excluded) are often ignored by Evans and others on the council — until its time to court votes.
Just noticed some police on E street near FBI building – are they filming a movie? Strange equipment in the middle of the road…
(Sat night, around 8pm)
Agree with #2. Evans is a snake. Our neighborhood is louder and his quieter after the noise ordinance bill. This creep should be thrown out of office.
DC area house prices fall further – another 1% loss in May 2008, down 15.4% in the last year.

As for Big Jack, just take your kettle drums & bullhorn over to Georgetown, the circulator bus will take you right there. Enforce your First Amendment Rights… just like the guys had [& still have] to do with their Second Amendment Rights. The only way to have any rights in DC is to work for them.
Adding to #5, keep in mind that while the Case-Schiller index for DC is down 15.4%, the number is not entirely relevant for the downtown DC area. First, the index tracks single-family homes, not condos. Second, the 15.4% number is the average across the entire metro area, including such areas as Loudoun, Prince William, etc, where price declines are more than 15.4%.
Not saying that prices aren’t wobbly downtown, just that real estate markets are hyper-localized and that people shouldn’t read too much into such broad averages without doing a little more homework.
Good point. These politicians stood by while people really messed up the housing market. First the bubble, & now the burst, which seems likely to last for at least another year [with caveats re certain localities]. Was looking at properties in San Francisco earlier this month – nice condos in good areas for around $500 K, where a couple years ago there was virtually nothing nice under $900 K.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I will vote for the candidate who guarantees balducci’s comes into my building.
