Their mother kathy is a disabled veteran. She served in the air force for 14 years and then worked a special duty assignment in d. C.

On buchanan street, u street and here on these popup houses are going up all over d. C. Just yesterday one partially collapsed during construction. There are a lot of opinions out there about these structures and now theres some serious concerns about this modern day housing and the choices it brings to neighborhoods. Sam ford is live in northwest to explain this. Yes, were in front of 19th Street Baptist Church where within the hour a meeting is scheduled on what to do about popup houses. Theyre popping up around the city and particularly raising neighbors. On euclid northwest theyre working on a popup house and the neighbor next door is livid. They have already put a hole on the side of our attic. The noise, the banging, everything. It seems they pick and choose what regulations they want to follow. Valerie wheeler insists the city is ignoring her complaint and letting the owner convert it into a four home pop up. This law was surveyed by my surveyor. It protrudes on my Property Five eighths of an inch. Homeowners claim the city is not providing proper oversight. I heard this huge, boom and then the brick falling and the whole house was shaking and a large section of fence was smashed. That bulldozer yesterday on p. Street apparently did no structural damage to her house, but shes upset about it, as saundra lussein on buchanan northwest who learned of the pop up construction when jarred from her bed. We have no life when it comes to people coming. This builder insisted the pop up industry is doing d. C. A favor. We took a onedwelling unit and now making it four condominiums. Those buyers will probably not have schoolaged children. It does help expand the tax base for the city. His argument is that d. C. Does not have the space to expand horizontally and so it must expand vertically. Although people attending this meeting tonight will probably be asking for tougher regulations and some would like to see popup houses banned completely.

They have stayed somewhat vanilla and used the games to get into a rhythm and really for the coaches to evaluate the talent. But i know jay gruden was really pleased with the defensive effort specifically the first team defense. Its been really solid.
