Newish passion/obsession: finding out the housing conditions in my area and advocating for better. But also identifying housing conditions of other areas.

Whose idea was it that candidates should attack each other? Yes, you have different agendas but the overall goal should be to serve the people. You cannot do that when you’re attacking each other, especially when facing constant ridicule. It’s distasteful.

[Takema Keyes @TakemaKeyes]

There’s so much talk about affordable housing but what about safe, efficient, and stable housing conditions? There’s so many piss poor houses/apartment complexes but it gets swept under the rug.

[DC Girl Saddity @J_adoreDiDi]

Leave them goddamn kids alone! They found a place that isn’t near anyone’s home or precious grassy lot and they’re still being harassed??!!

Amazing new program in Washington, DC.

Friendship Bench DC provides one-on-one time with a grandparent who is ready to listen and offer advice.

Now at 4 DC public libraries. Everyone is welcome. ❤️

I think two things can be true: giving teens a space and activities to do at night, but also having a set time to go home, as we know dangerous things happen at night.

[Keith D. Jones, Jr. ⭐️ @KeithJonesJr]

Let’s be frank, it’s mostly Black teens. Give them a space and place to be themselves. Not set an arbitrary time that they must be home. Bad policy @MayorBowser

[Takema Keyes @TakemaKeyes]

Is it cheaper to build new homes than to fix up existing ones to improve them, or to fix up abandoned/vacant ones? We have many throughout the city that could improve the appearance and increase housing stability. Thoughts or comments? #DCHousing

Idk who needs to hear this but we don’t need no damn grocery stores in Ward 1. We’ve got plenty.

Now Wards 7 and 8, different story. Protect East of the River.

[PeaceLove&MumboSauce @igotit4free]

DC could activate the grass spot at the Navy yard with activities for the youth but instead they rather put tape around it. But we will activate anywhere for Pickleball.
