Council Of The District Of Columbia

In our latest Hearing the Council interview, we chat with At-Large Councilmember Robert White about the complicated moment we are all living through currently, plus his policy priorities for 2025. We talk about challenges facing both housing development and affordability, including the dry pipeline of future multifamily housing permits in the District. We discuss the great promise held by vocational education, but why it remains an underutilized tool. And we talk about what if anything can bring DC together during these challenging times. Plus, for the fun round, he picks which of his colleagues he would choose to help with miscellaneous tasks, like clothes shopping and putting on a puppet show.
