How D.C. Can Survive Peak Population
The city is already facing a massive affordability crisis. To grow smart, its leaders must radically change their philosophies—now.
Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C., sat down with the hosts of Morning Joe on Tuesday to talk about body cameras, Uber, law enforcement in Baltimore, and other topics of interest in (or adjacent to) Chocolate City. The hosts perpetuated some misleading stereotypes about the city, like when Mika Brzezinski suggested that members of Congress must spend a lot of time stuck in traffic. (What a bama.) But Bowser tried to keep the discussion focused on the future.
Clueless pundits notwithstanding, Bowser made one point that struck an immediate chord in the District.
