| Question 1 — If elected, I commit to supporting a future redevelopment of the publicly owned site at 1617 U Street NW that: Maintains uninterrupted emergency services by phasing redevelopment to avoid displacement or disruption of the existing first responders. | Question 2 — If elected, I commit to supporting a future redevelopment of the publicly owned site at 1617 U Street NW that: Ensures the land and air rights remain under municipal control and includes a social housing pilot project that delivers housing for a mix of income levels including deeply affordable housing and family-sized units. |
| Jackie: Yes | Jackie: Yes. |
| Public safety cannot be compromised during redevelopment. The site at 1617 U Street currently serves an essential role in emergency response, and any transition must be carefully phased to ensure there is no disruption to services that residents rely on every day. | Public land is a public good, and we must use it to serve the long-term needs of our residents. That means maintaining public ownership of the land and leveraging it to deliver deeply affordable housing, family-sized units, and mixed-income opportunities through a social housing model. |
