How so? I met him once or twice through a nonprofit I worked for but admittedly don’t keep up with his work.

KJ believes that anything good would cause gentrification, especially anything that might be remotely associated with “hipster” white people.

Well here I am, a 30-year-old white guy (I would never claim to be hip) living on PBA. I don’t want to get rid of my neighbors, I just want a decent hoagie or panini not from OCF, the combo real estate/coffee house taking over this dirty ol’ town

He’s a greedy fuck that knows what to do to keep getting re-elected. Next time you see him, flip him off. I own down around taproom on 19th and his stupid fucking policies are doing nothing but holding a huge, high potential area of the city back, and his constituents keep voting for him because he keeps them fearful of young, mildly affluent people coming in and chasing them out. Just look at Washington ave. Once side got a sorely needed redevelopment, and the other got fuck all.
