That’s my ward, baby

David Brooks describes Ward 3, home to Washington’s highly-educated, upper middle-class “Democratic staffers, regulators, journalists, lawyers, Obama aides and senior civil servants”. (Ward maps available here. I live in Ward 3, Precinct 26.)

I would add one-point to Brooks’ description. Most Ward 3 residents have lost 30-40% of their retirement savings as a result of the financial crisis. That’s just one more reason they resent Wall Street executives who still get six-figure bonuses.
