They think they are god's gift to real estate and finance. They took a business class once and learned about "crowdsourcing". They bought the AutoZone lot and were dumbfounded about what to do about the lease. They wanted to move the Autozone to 13th and Maryland, which is stupid because it basically recreates the same problem: Autozone on a prime piece of land (not a lucrative enough business to support the land value/cost).<br /><br />Basically they are unqualified for their jobs, which they got from their father. Good for them, its not my money. If they didnt think they were such hot shit (as evidenced by the existence of the article and their comments in it), I'd probably cut them some slackDave Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-67796998470471591072012-02-03T20:05:14.421-05:002012-02-03T20:05:14.421-05:00Grr,

Here's my response:<br /><br />All of us in Trinidad, Near Northeast, Kingman Park, Carver-Langston, Rosedale, H Street, and all the other communities right here, come from wildly diverse backgrounds. While I'm always interested in what brought people here, the more interesting question to me is "Where do we go from here?". We all have different ideas, wishes, hopes, and experiences that we bring to the table. I always hope that we can work together to craft a vision for the community that we seek to build. I think that should be our focus.inkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350787243002946647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-64588124982866795272012-02-03T18:57:52.989-05:002012-02-03T18:57:52.989-05:005:48,

I see where it says about a quarter on the site, but I notice that the numbers on the map don't add up the same way. I'm assuming that's bk they either didn't map small numbers of users in DC, some users were outside DC, or some users did not provide zip codes. Of the numbers on the map you have 239 in 20002, and 258 users providing a DC zip code other than 20002. That's roughly 48.5% of the mapped users residing in 20002.

While that group certainly makes up the highest percentage of users, it wouldn't be accurate to call that a "vast majority" of users, which would have to be anything north of 50% (but likely a much higher number to claim "vast").Dolemitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-66417022098823166912012-02-03T13:41:54.345-05:002012-02-03T13:41:54.345-05:00who cares?who cares?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
