I think I’m going to leave it at let’s agree to disagree.

But do you think that his record as a councilmember makes him a better candidate when it comes to public transit, biking infrastructure, zoning & housing issues?

I remember that you supported Goulet when he ran for W3. It was obvious that he was against rental housing & bike lanes, and don’t think he was enthusiastic about public transit either. Is your stance about supporting these campaigns: make them better on housing & transit from the inside?

I think Grand Duchess is only on IG! See you next week, and feel free to share the invite with your biking group!

Today, I joined with my fellow Ward 1 candidates to call on the @councilofdc.bsky.social to reject the latest attempt to cancel ranked-choice voting for the 2026 elections.

Do you live in single-member district 6E04 in Ward 6 (you can double check using this tool openanc.org)? If so, the Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner seat has been vacant for a while and you can run for it. You can get more info about running for ANC by emailing candidate@dcboe.org.

Considering housing density in NYC, do you consider these multifamily buildings as examples of missing middle
/gentle density housing in NYC? (I believe both are in Brooklyn).

The NYC zoning changes are going to eliminate parking minimum requirements in much of the city, make it feasible to build ADUs in most of the city, & expand allowed densities near transit.

This is all expected to add up to 80,000 more housing units.

What are your favorite examples on low-density multifamily (gentle density/missing middle) housing in the U.S.?
