This is a massive mistake.
I'm not anti-library. Put the library on the ground floor. Stack 200 units of housing on top. Done.
But DC just spent $15 MILLION to plant a 23,000 sq ft library on land sitting directly adjacent to a Metro station in a neighborhood screaming for affordable housing.
They chose a standalone single-story building — and now that land is locked up forever.
The moment that library opens it becomes politically untouchable. No DC politician will EVER propose redeveloping a beloved neighborhood library in a historically underserved community. Ever.
They didn't just make a bad call. They made a permanent one.
After 13 years in City Hall, what results do residents actually see? Our infrastructure is crumbling, 911 response times are unacceptable, 311 barely works, and Wards 7 and 8 still lack full grocery access. DC deserves a new generation of leadership focused on fixing the basics so the city actually works. The old guard needs to go. https://t.co/dFwuSOX2ph.
For the past month, I’ve been working on a project to map out and document the work of one of the most prolific storefront sign painters in the US - this is Detroit’s Ron Signs
