"Chevy Chase has less than 1 percent of the city’s dedicated affordable housing units, according to D.C.’s Office of Planning. Its residents are also overwhelmingly White in a city that is 45 percent Black — and that’s by historical design. Founded by Francis G. Newlands, a former U.S. senator and avowed white supremacist, the neighborhood kept Black people out for decades through racial covenants that barred their homeownership."

"After the first round of messaging, expected to start in as soon as two weeks, drivers [with a history of traffic violations and crashes] can opt out of future messages."

@Dani I don't fault the Mayor for sounding the alarm, but her focus on ending telework is just tone deaf and, unfortunately, obscuring her main message: DC needs to activate those downtown buildings, and if they're no longer needed for office space, they should be converted to affordable housing. That message I can get behind.
