@andrewdefrank We should densify NW but if she thinks that’s on par with the vision of NoMa or Navy Yard, she’s in for a rude awakening.

Those neighborhoods worked because they were parking lots around a Metro station, not multimillion dollar homes with minimal transit.

@Eyestimesthr33 @tobinjstone I get there are plenty of companies that specifically want the K Street DC address but you’re deluding yourself if you don’t think many, many companies consider Arlington (or even Tysons) a perfectly sufficient “DC presence.”

@DistrictHusker @maustermuhle @MurielBowser No, it really would be McDuffie: defeated in the primary, rolls dice that their voters plus Republicans and independents can get them to 50.1%.

If Bowser got in and said, “Hey, she’s awful, so I’ll take one for the team,” that’s really a different ballgame.

@ZaneBalian @WMATASoldier Why is a park necessary? It’s adjacent to the National Mall.

@conorsen Friend of mine came back from study abroad with an Italian girlfriend, and we took her to Costco for the $1.50 hot dog.

She made us get a photo of her holding the giant pack of toilet paper.

@RainbowCrown_7 @TODNewsHub You’re not wrong, but this is city property and they shouldn’t build *any* low-rise by a Metro.

Do I want to live in Congress Heights? No.

Would I live there if I couldn’t afford most of DC and received a heavily subsidized apartment on top of a Metro station? Yes.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@JinJung At $5 per half hour, you’re actually above (national) minimum wage.

Either way, it’s only wasted time if it’s wasted time. Dicking around on your phone from your couch versus from your car is hardly a moneymaker.

@McCarthyist2 She lost by a whisker and won by a whisker, I’m not really sure you can infer very much causality when it’s so close.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@davidjackson911 @wil_da_beast630 And Obama, for all of his lasting cultural power, didn’t really do anything legislatively lasting or shape a political era with his ideology.

Which makes it easy for the left to reduce his (failed) presidency to inoffensive “good old days.”

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@CasuallyGreg @Provokethoughtz @TechIsMyThing @grok I also never get this: a 2br apartment is not the minimum apartment; why should you be able to afford it on the minimum wage?

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@mattyglesias So I don’t believe this because I don’t really put value in most conspiracy theories, BUT:

The argument is that it takes time to figure out where and how to sprinkle the minimal number of winning votes around the state, either fraudulently or via ballot harvesting.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@lululexie @JoshKraushaar But who would be committing the fraud?

Bass is the establishment Democrat who theoretically controls the machine.

She wanted to run vs Pratt bc the city is 70% Dem.

Raman is a random councilwoman. (Pratt’s words.) Who’s rigging it for her?!

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@nah_nahsel @EndWokeness @neoavatara Yeah, but why are undecideds from
a week ago not supporting Raman?

I guess it’s possible. I personally think it’s ballot harvesting (legal, if morally dubious).

Again, I don’t think there’s any fraud here, if only because Raman certainly isn’t part of any machine.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@nah_nahsel @EndWokeness @neoavatara She’s been in 1st in a number of major ballot drops. That’s how she’s closed the gap.

I’m not saying fraud—I don’t know who would be “doing” the fraud; Bass is the machine and would rather run vs Pratt—but obviously something has propelled Raman w/ mail beyond “Dems vote late.”

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@jkirchick @AGHamilton29 I’m sure the tweet was much more conciliatory in its original German.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@conorsen It’s completely wrong.

Trump 2016 was not driven by young people in expensive areas.

If they had been able to afford houses—and thus more likely to get married and have kids—they would’ve been more conservative.

If anything, we would’ve staved off far-left energy, not right.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@moon1000x @cityaestheticss When?

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@catturd2 “The Democratic Machine” is trying to give Bass a tougher general election against a socialist?

I like Pratt. I think the Democratic establishment in LA would *absolutely* rather have Bass run against him than another Democrat.

I genuinely don’t understand the “why” here.

[Mr. Fox 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @FoxCapHill]

@moon1000x @cityaestheticss “In the tech era.”

Cities don’t spontaneously appear from nothing in twenty years.

@btrivett07 @Heminator I never get this defense. “PTSD gave him rage and mental illness. Anyway, he should be in charge of the country.”
