Fun fact- A closet is not legally required for a room to be a bedroom.

There are sq ft, height/width, and access requirements.

I found the old listing. Apparently the 2 units are one property.

Right?? Fire her into the sun. (Spoiler: Bowser won't).

Interesting. It mentions in these articles that the DC Council eventually passed a law closing the loophole that previously allowed landlords to keep rates high in rent-controlled units after they were leased by a voucher-holder who then moved out, rather than having to revert back to the rent-controlled rate. It remained unfunded for a while, but was "eventually" funded it seems. Do you know if this law is still on the books? Is this loophole closure still being funded? Can't seem to find any recent information about it.

the american dream is to figure out how to operate a marginally illegal scheme and get rich off of the suffering of poor people

But in an interview for this article, Donald acknowledged the agency’s failure to properly assess rents has led to overpayments. She said her stance changed recently after talking with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development officials who issued a sweeping report in September, which flagged the problem alongside the agency’s failure to provide “decent, safe, and sanitary” housing for its residents. The report depicts a housing authority in disarray and at risk of defaulting on its agreement with the federal government.

“We are going to fix all of this,” Donald said.

lol, lmao

And each of these rooms has a window and closet?

Even if DCHA is authorized to pay a certain percentage over market rate, it appears they are still going way over even that by simply paying out the cap based on the number of bedrooms with zero consideration for actual market rates in a given area. Just no accountability whatsoever.

And what exactly would be her role in either of those options? What exactly is she doing to improve things besides issuing empty ultimatums?

And let's face it, there's a lot of rural bigots moving to DC the last few years too. Hell just yesterday I saw a fellow on Subredditdrama saying some racist shit and when I checked his post history it was mostly PoliticalCompassMemes, NOVA and this sub. Talks about how the 'confederacy did nothing wrong' and how they used to live in a rural area and how 'feminism ruined everything' when posting on PCM but in this sub he's very 'non-controversial' 'law and order' (wink wink) and gets the upvotes for that.

This is pretty interesting.

If there's one thing consistent about practically every single regional subreddit, it's this.

This article doesn’t mention that housing authorities almost always pay a percentage above the Fair Market Rate set by HUD in order to encourage landlords to take voucher tenants, who tend to be seen as higher risk (even if that perception isn’t justified). IIRC, the last town I worked in Massachusetts was authorized to spend as much as 180% above the FMR. The article does make it sound like HUD isn’t happy with what the city is doing, but I don’t know if it’s accurate to suggest the practice of overpaying itself is something unique to the city (or necessarily against HUD rules). People with more federal housing experience, feel free to correct me if I’m off base.

I'm sure brigadiers factor into it, but a less comfortable truth is that there's a lot of internalized racism and class discrimination among the young white professionals who live in DC and frequent this subreddit - and discussions about police and homelessness tends to draw those attitudes out.

Unlearning internalized racism and class discrimination takes work - and there's no guarantee that people in this subreddit have done that work just because they live in D.C. or vote for progressive Democrats.

Dan’s cafe.

Shane Lamond is a disgrace to MPD and all of DC. Fire his ass and get him off DC payroll. Claw back salary during suspension. Prosecute. WTF

Still do...

Shane Lamond received a ribbon of valor from MPD in October 2021, "honoring
the employees of the MPDC and our law enforcement partners, civic organizations, and
residents who have helped to make a difference in our communities over the past year."

Many of the vouchers are for 1 year. Due to upward pressures/inflation of rent due to how vouchers are administered, people have way less chance to afford something when voucher expires.

Long time tenants in rent controlled units have a target on them since the vouchers are SO much more lucrative.

This has been well known, but glad the WP is writing about it again. The 2019 articles re: Sedgewick Gardens and what a debacle that has been were excellent.

just look at the personal cars parked on the grass around 4D

Selfishness

Thank you!

I would be hard pressed to come up with a reasonable argument to defend extra judicial killing of people.
