More Projects Coming To D.C.'s Opportunity Zones..But Opportunity For Whom?

by Mel Dyer

There is a good reason, why I do not feel DC's Wards Seven and Eight are not ready for statehood.

Our River East wards do not presently have sufficient industry and commercial investment to generate enough revenue to adequately support police, EMS, sanitation, public schools and other services, ..on a municipal level. We are not as ready to be towns or municipalities, as some of the other parts of town, ..like Capitol Hill and Georgetown. Presently, our Capicostia (ANC-7B) neighborhoods are poised to become the prospective 51st State's poorest, most abject districts. How will that go for us, when the folks, downtown, decide we should start shouldering more of our own economic burdens?

So, when I read about these so-called 'opportunity zones', I am somewhat hopeful...encouraged. Some would argue any development is good development, for Seven and Eight. The question for us River Easters, however, is...opportunity, for whom?

Read. Please...

CENTS OIL, A FUEL COMPANY FOR CAPITOL HILL AND EAST-OF-THE-RIVER D.C.

CENTS OIL CO is the kind of fuel delivery company that so many older, oil-burning households in Washington, DC's Capitol Hill and East-of-the-River neighborhoods (Capitol Hill, Skyland, Penn Branch-Hillcrest, Marshall Heights, Anacostia, Congress Heights and more) ..depend on. Penn Branchers, like me, choose Cents, because it's e xceptional. Nothing common about this Cents! Competent, right-on-time SERVICE with SKILLED engineers and smart PRICES ..is the standard. It's also an environmentally responsible company, ..keeping its impact on the SAFETY of our water and air, right here in South and Northeast DC and the rest of our Nation's Capitol, a top priority. Capicostia's got CENTS . Get some Cents, out there! Call CENTS at (202) 498-2367. Mel Dyer CENTS OIL COMPANY 5600 Sargent Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782

ON CAPICOSTIA: TRYING TO OPEN A DOOR WITH A THOUSAND WRONG KEYS - SEX THERAPY AND THE WASHINGTON MAN

"...WHAT IS SEX THERAPY? Sex therapy, at its core, is a specialized form of psychotherapy aimed at addressing sexual issues and improving sexual health. Think of it as the emotional and psychological component of sexual and reproductive health. Whether it’s concerns about libido, sexual intercourse, or emotional connectivity in intimate relationships, sex therapy offers a safe space for exploration and resolution..." Therapy Group of DC NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS? NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR GAME OR APPROACH? THIS has nothing to do with THAT. Sexual HEALTH is LIVING HEALTH. Sexuality is how men and women form relationships to make more people, solve social problems, model healthy relationships for others (esp. younger people) and a way, though not the only way, that humans keep each other happy and healthy and keeping our WORLD going. When something, anything, gets in the way of all of that happening, and people aren't or don't know how to get together... We've go...
