To the North Capitol Hill Carriage House owner,
I walk by your seemingly empty and unused carriage house every day with my dog and dream of living in it with my partner and my dog. I have never seen anyone there until the other week, when I walked by as you showed your friend the place and she marveled at it, asking when you bought it, as if it were some fun souvenir.
I’m positive you’re a NIMBY and it’s people like you who are the reason there’s a housing crisis and people like me can’t afford one house, let alone two or more, like you.
Literally, just rent it to me (for a very reasonable price, since you’re not using it anyway) and I will actually fill it with love and community, instead of letting it sit there empty.
Signed,
No one needs more than one house

Is this column I Anonymous or I So Fucking Jealous?
@1 I’m sure that “I Racist Piece Of Shit” is waiting for you to write something.
They’re not going to rent to you (cheap) because when (not if) you stiff them on the rent it’ll take months to evict you while you trash the place. Better to leave it empty while waiting to flip it.
@1
The latter.
I’d be curious as to what the writer would consider a reasonable rent.
