Aside from Barry, I can hardly think of a more useless councilman than Mendelson. Maybe Jim Graham and his odious dog banning bills, but I think Mendelson takes the cake.
I do not understand this mentality. Why do historic districts get exempt from wires and other eyesores, and we near H have to put up with the noise of the construction of the streetcar tracks and stops, the potential noise and disruption of the streetcars, and the eyesore of the wires to boot. Why do people in historic districts have more rights? The streetcars are a bad idea and the planning for them has been a calamity.
I don't understand how a single wire suspended by lamp posts along H Street would be an "eyesore" - the wires won't block any views (what views, by the way?), and the streetcars will provide a new method of getting people into and out of the H Street NE corridor, benefiting all who currently live here.
I don't understand the mentality of people opposed to common sense public transit projects like streetcars in DC. That sort of think is quite the calamity.
Nor do I understand the mentality of poeple who post on blogs anonomously.

I love his tweet. You don't even need to ask who the one holdout is.
