Ward 3's rules
David Brooks has a great piece on how social mores for rich people across the country are now going to be determined by Ward 3 residents in Northwest DC. Those are the people who essentially run DC (Obviously I live in Ward 2). Rich person, do you want to buy a private plane for your company? Sorry, no. The Ward 3 consensus is that the private plane is excessive. And you can't do anything about it because you took bailout money and the Feds have you by the balls.
Brooks may be right, this could reverberate across society.
