There’s a saying, “Don’t hate the player, Hate the Game”. I don’t know if I agree, but I do believe it’s important not overly focus on the personalities of Felcity and Lori in the College Admissions so-called cheating scandal or CM Jack Evans cheating troubles. Instead, we must at least equally focus on the “Game”, the values\/systems in which Felcity, Lori and Jack operate. Ironically many of us will join in and ridicule Felcity, Lori, and Jack, but celebrate the results of their values. Degrees from elite institutions, celebrity chefs, luxury housing and nightlife as all costs. In fact we are looking to enshrine them into our City’s Comprehensive Plan as fundamental values. Yes, Felicity, Lori and Jack operate in the same and overlapping systems.<\/p>\n

Here are the high-flying financiers charged in the college-admissions cheating scandal <www.businessinsider.com\/college-admissions-cheating-scandal-finance-executives-charged-2019-3<\/a>>

The above article on the college admissions bribery scandals and others take <www.vox.com\/2019\/3\/15\/18264399\/college-admissions-scandal-lori-loughlin-cheating-huffman<\/a>> a look a at the parents behind the scheme and their psychology. These articles note that many of these parents are wealthy real estate developers and technology financiers. Touching on the elite enclaves of celebrity life styles, culture and values which would drive some of them to cheat to the tune of 10s even 100s of thousands dollars in brides. What does this have to do with DC? It is circles which or political and appointed leaders are look to to shaping our city, Washington DC.<\/p>\n

For example back in February city leaders headed to the west coast to recruit this value system to DC, they called it the Obviously DC West Coast Mission <dmped.dc.gov\/release\/deputy-mayor-kenner-host-obviously-dc-west-coast-mission<\/a>> ..<\/p>\n

\u201cThis mission allows us to directly connect with tech companies and investors while collaborating with policy leaders to develop ideas that can help shape the future of Washington, DC.\u201d
\nDeputy Mayor Kenner<\/p>\n

If we look at our leaders’ vision for Dowtown DC, The Wharf, The Yards, NoMa, even St. Elizabeth and etc., we seek our city is betting and designing our future on building and recruiting to these “elite” enclaves, when we say “Obviously DC” and DC Values Felicity, Lori and Jack are what we mean. A few quotes of CM Evan’s Business Plan begins to paint the picture.<\/p>\n

“In detailing my tenure, accomplishments, and stature in Washington, DC politics and business
\ncircles, The Washington Post said, \u201cIf there were such a thing as a Vice Mayor, Jack Evans would be perfect for it.\u201d”…<\/p>\n

In that time I have been instrumental in the creation of Washington\u2019s economic and cultural renaissance….<\/p>\n

I oversee all legislation related to taxes, financial incentives, budgets, the
\nDC Lottery, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, industrial revenues bonds, the establishment of business improvement districts, payment in lieu of taxes (PILOTs), arts and humanities, convention, tourism and marketing, and all things fiscal and financially-related. My legislative record demonstrates that I have been a stalwart champion of recruiting and retaining new technology companies, creating a regulatory environment friendly to business, and countering policies counter to these aims….
\nCM Jack Evan – Business Plan <games-cdn.washingtonpost.com\/notes\/prod\/default\/documents\/3562ecbc-73ec-4ea5-8819-6d5439330175\/note\/abc13d8b-95c2-4827-969c-210d88f01416.pdf<\/a>><\/p>\n

Building a city based on the elite values of Felicity and Lori, built by real estate developers and high tech celebrities and financiers leveraging public subsidies is now our “Game”? An it will soon be the foundation of our Comprehensive Plan.<\/p>\n
