One of our own, and their dog, got hit by a car in their own neighborhood: this reality should be unacceptable. The defensive line for building a stadium at RFK is a weak one. Try out the new GGWash Junctions puzzle. TOPA is not the biggest barrier to building housing in the District, actually, so please don’t nerf it. Meet our new Maryland policy manager, Mark Clements. Two new high schools are coming to Montgomery County.

[link removed]
by Alex Baca (DC Policy Director), Chelsea Allinger (Executive Director) • May 27, 2025
The fate of the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) is on the table because of claims that it’s the biggest barrier to building housing in the District. We beg to differ.
