@TPCarney In the DC area, they will try to sell you fescue, and you should insist on a hot-weather variety such as zoysia or bermuda

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@TPCarney "On the national mall" seems to make his statement perfectly reasonable, given video of DEA agents walking along the mall. In 20+ years of living in DC, I also haven't seen crime on the mall. Why pile on a perfectly reasonable statement, Tim? You typically do better than this.

@AmericanNumbers Mark Kelly?

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@Boenau Yes, there are medical professionals who still think that, but they are largely over 50 and stuck in the thinking of 20 years ago. If others have car-brain, you seem to have obesity-brain.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@Boenau Describing a life-saving treatment as a "shortcut" is what offends me. I guess you'd say the same about treatments for high cholesterol and blood pressure.

You truly sound as ignorant as the people in your replies who deny the existence of car-brain.

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Lol, I'm not criticizing you because I think you actually made a difference. I'm criticizing you for your selfish intent. No special tax district, no arena, and happy to make everyone else pay for your metro station.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE I don't need to show you, the mayor laid it out in a tweet earlier in this conversation. Someone is going to have to pay for that metro station. That someone was supposed to be south PY residents and whatever development happens in NPY. Now it's going to be everyone in the city.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Yes, you lobbied for yourself to pay lower taxes at the expense of other people paying higher taxes. The result of that is other people will have less money in their pockets, and you will have more money in your pockets. Do you need a diagram of how this works?

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Some people like to lobby the government to take more money from other people and less money from themselves. It's a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but I guess people don't like being called out for it in public.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Just want to re-iterate my point that this guy lobbied the city to eliminate a tax on his house, then lobbied the city (and state) to kill a project that would have replaced those taxes. As a result, other city residents will now have to pay higher taxes to make up the difference

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE 1) "The tax I lobbied to eliminate wasn't on me, it was on my house." I didn't realize houses paid taxes. My mistake.

2) "The arena deal died in Richmond." Was that not you pushing people to lobby the state against the arena? 🤔

3) Different tax hikes, fella. Try and keep up.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE You lobbied the city to eliminate a tax on yourself, then lobbied the city to kill a project that would have replaced those taxes. Now other residents will have to pay the taxes that you and the killed project would have paid without that lobbying. But sure, deny, deny, deny.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE It's ok, man. We've known this is who you are for almost a decade now.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Yes, you used your free speech rights to lobby the government to take money from other people and put that money into your own pockets. That's why we call you the freeloaders. This isn't complicated.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Let's see. You lobbied to kill the tax on yourself. You lobbied to kill the project that would have replaced those taxes. Now taxes will have to go up on everyone else. 🤔🤔🤔

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Yes, I have seen you fight for what you believe in: taking money from other residents and putting it in your own pocket. Congrats to the Freeloader family!

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE For anyone reading this exchange, know that this Rafael guy is never happy unless someone else is paying for his lifestyle. He bought a house he knew was in a special tax district, then whined to get rid of it because he didn't think it was fair. Please ignore people like this.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Not to be confused with Ms. Freeloader who was also prominently involved in both efforts, of course.

[Brian Johnson @BrianJohnsonDC]

@cavazzonilima @justindotnet @jc_bradbury @DCAttorneyGen @MSE Lol at no subsidy. Everyone knows you as the guy who lobbied for everyone else to pay for your metro station and now helped kill the project that was going to pay for it. We call you Mr. Freeloader in my social circle.
