Comments on: BREAKING: ANC Meeting to Discuss Real World DC, Real World Doesn’t Bother to Show Up http://www.antirealworld.com/2009/06/breaking-anc-meeting-to-discuss-real-world-dc-real-world-doesnt-bother-to-show-up.html MTV's newest season of "The Real World" is being filmed about 20 feet from my house. This blog will chronicle the pain and annoyance they put me and my neighbors through as well as the heckling my friends and I plan for the newest crop of "real worlders."

Amen Chris, Amen.

Listen people. Please keep an open mind and heart. Stop jumping to conclusions with every little thing the neighbors across the street are doing and don't forget to be the change you wish to see in the real world!

I didn't even know it was going on until I started reading about it on DCist. I'm "extraspecial" on twitter should you wish to further quell your suspicion.<br /><br />Honestly I'm not trying to stir things up, just giving the "devil's advocate" view of things. Franky, I don't watch the show, and couldn't give a rat's ass if the next one were here or in Bismark, ND. I just find the "proactive outrage" to be a bit amusing.<br /><br />I think DC has a lot bigger problems than losing 4 parking spaces, and a handful of people who may (or may not, let's not be too quick to be prejudice, no?) be douchebags going to "our" bars. @cbeec, I'm sorry to disappoint, but alas, I've no affiliation with RWDC.

But hey, I could be wrong! <br /><br />In any case, you seem very determined to support and/or defend MTV and RWDC, so I suggest you check out another (unintentionally entertaining) blog that is (desperately) looking for contributors to express their deeply felt appreciation for the RWDC.

They have scraped the bottom of the barrell for many years in terms of people on the show. And to the poster who asked what is the big deal. The big deal is that a TV show thinks it has the right to come into peoples neighborhoods and disrupt them. No parking during the shoot!!! Some of us don't want our lives disrupted so a bunch of people can become famous for how skanky they are.

Feldstein sent that e-mail Monday, it's quite conceivable that may be a little short notice for someone who I would assume has a pretty busy schedule to plan to attend a meeting...<br /><br />This may be PR 101, but you're sure doing a good job of damning everyone under the sun without having all the facts. @DCBadger, this would be the same meeting about which TracySherman wrote, "This issue wasn’t on the public agenda for the ANC meeting and we only knew about it from blogs."

Please state how the Real World DC and the residents of Dupont and the sourounding areas are going to be affected any differently than residents of New York, Chicago, SanFran, LA, just to name a few. why do you think DC is any different from the 22 other cities the Real World filmed in?

If you want community/neighborhood buy-in on something, you have this meeting BEFORE the contracts are signed and the disruptions have begun, not after, and not only because word got out despite the city's best efforts to keep the location of the RW house under the radar. <br /><br />The Fenty admin gave a middle finger to the neighborhood around the house as much as - if not more than - MTV did.
