Re: Redistricting e-petition link
Hi all,
I've attached Brian Flahaven's testimony before the Council Sub-Committee on Redistricting. ?It does an eloquent job of making the case for why this is a bad idea.
How could this adversely impact us? ?Here are a few possible ways, ranging from the "soft" to the very tangible.
?? a) First, I believe that Capital Hill has an economic, political, cultural and social identity. ?It's strongest from block to block (witness the great tradition of the street/alley party, as embodied by last Sunday's 11th St gathering!), but extends more broadly from the Capital to RFK stadium. ?Hill East is a part of our collective Hill identity. ?To bifurcate the neighborhood politically diminishes all of us.
??b) Hill East is the most diverse part of the Hill. ?Moving any significant part of Hill East into Ward 7 or 8 would make our community less diverse. ?If you read the New Hill East list serve with any regularity, or follow some of the more contentious gentrification related issues on the Hill, then you know that our diversity is not always without tension. ?I would suggest that politically dividing the community does nothing to further the goal of creating a community that is a model of socioeconomic integration. ?If anything, it's makes that objective more difficult to achieve. ?
??c) Reservation 13, one of the most important future developments on the Hill, is a priority target for those in favor of redistricting at the expense of Ward 6. ?This development will bring much needed businesses and services to this part of the Hill. ?It will turn the waterfront in this area into a viable, desirable destination for all of us. ?Numerous Hill residents spent a great deal of energy crafting a community based master plan for this area. ?Politically separating those who will both benefit from and be impacted by the development from the development itself is a recipe for further complicating this already delayed initiative. ?
?d) Lastly, DC General hospital currently serves as an ad hoc, location of last resort for various social services (several homeless shelters and a methadone clinic). ?While I'm not debating the need for these services, I question the city's approach to delivering them. ?DC General is a deteriorating facility that is not properly configured to house DC's homeless population. ?The decision to cluster social services at this site seems more a decision born of convenience than of thoughtful consideration of how to best deliver services and ensure that they have a positive impact on the intended recipients. ?Moving this part of Ward 6 into Ward 7 or Ward 8 would do nothing to incentivize the city to improve this situation. ?Indeed, I think it would make it politically very easy to maintain the status quo.
Hopefully that helps and thanks for the question. ?Let me know if I need to clarify anything--there are many ?nuances and possible outcomes.
Best,
Brian

It sounds like this would not affect us directly (I don't know the actual borders of neighborhoods, but I am assuming Hill East is over closer to RFK).? But what is the argument for staying in ward 6 or against being part of ward 7?? Are there material things that would change?? Is it a question of whether people want to be represented by Wells as opposed to Alexander?? I just can't see the big deal in being classified as part of one ward or another.

"DC Redistricting and Ward 6
For those not following the arcane process of post-census redistricting in the city, the Council Subcommittee on Redistricting held two public hearings last week to gather feedback on possible new ward boundaries. ?The Council expects to finalize new boundaries by June, followed quickly by the redrawing of Advisory Neighborhood Commission and Single Member District boundaries. ?
DC requires each Ward to be of roughly equal size (+/- 5%). ?Given the growth of the city, each Ward should contain about 75,000 people. ?Achieving this objective requires the Council to add several hundred people to Wards 7 and 8, and these additions must come from adjacent Wards. ?Practically applied, this means that Ward 6 lies vulnerable to poaching, a vulnerability confirmed by the Ward 7 & 8 Council Members' public proclamations targeting the SE/SW Waterfront and parts of Hill East. ?
Tuesday night, prior to the Hine special call meeting, the ANC6B executive committee used emergency authorities to vote on a resolution firmly stating the Commission's opposition to any part of Capitol Hill, especially Hill East, moving from Ward 6 to Wards 7 or 8 (resolution attached). ?The Commission also voted to authorize Commissioner Flahaven to provide testimony at the 27 April Redistricting Subcommittee hearing (testimony attached). ?Commissioner Campbell joined Commissioner Flahaven and provided supporting testimony at the meeting. ?
I believe this reflects the greater will of Capitol Hill residents, and am interested in your opinions on the matter. ?As highlighted in the testimony, there are a number of reasons why moving any part of Hill East into another Ward is a bad idea...chief among them it bifurcates a geographically contiguous neighborhood. ?ANC6B is initiating a petition drive over the next 72 hours (petition attached). ?If you feel so moved, I strongly encourage you to make a copy of this petition, seek signatures from your neighbors and return it to me Monday evening. ?I am happy to come to you to pick up the petition."

Thanks everyone! Re: Party has started
| Yes, it was a great time and I am so glad that so many any folks made it braving the so-so weather. A lot of neighbors finally got a chance to properly meet each other which was really nice.?
And you will all be happy to hear that we had a lot of left over beer so I think that pretty much means that there are going to be a few happy hours in the near future on the next nice days.
BTW, someone left a blue plastic St Agnes school cup and a small blue plastic cup, probably a child's. Let me know if it was yours.
thanks, antonia

9 lbs of pork shoulder has been on my grill since 8am. ?There should hopefully be enough left for a sandwich when you get back!

So, for our party tomorrow I plan to block the
alley entrances on 11th and 10th st with garbage cans. That way we won't have
cars passing through the middle as they tend to. That still leaves access on C
st to the south end of the alley and of course if a car has to get into the
north end it still can.
Hope that makes sense to everyone and folks can plan accordingly.
Thanks, antonia

Hi all-
I made about 15 juice pops (oj and lemonade) for the kids for today. Not sure if that is enough or not. We have a lot more popsicle molds but our freezer is crowded. If someone else has freezer space and wants to make them drop me a line or come by our house (224 10th). Cara should be there most of the day.
