WASHINGTON – Residents of a posh Washington neighborhood say Ivanka Trump
and her family don't make for very good neighbors, taking up much of the
parking on an already crowded street and leaving trash bags at the curb for
days. A big part of the complaint: a huge security presence, with even a
trip to the playground requiring three vans.
Neighbors of Trump, her husband Jared Kushner and their three children have
groused that sidewalks have been closed, public parking overrun and that the
family and their staff haven't learned the trash pickup schedule outside
their $5.5-million home.
"It has been a three-ring circus from the day that they've moved in,"
Marietta Robinson, who lives across the street, told with The Associated
Press.
The house in the Kalorama neighborhood was bought in December by a company
with ties to a Chilean billionaire. The company is renting it to Kushner and
Trump, who moved in just after the inauguration of her father, President
Donald Trump. Both work in the White House as advisers to the president.
Residents of the enclave of four- and five-story townhomes and elegant
single-family properties about 2 miles north of the White House are
accustomed to VIP neighbors. Former President Barack Obama and his family
have lived there since he left office, and the Secret Service closed off
their entire block to traffic. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos bought a home there,
and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also moved in recently.
Yet no one has raised the ire of the community like the Trumps. At a recent
neighborhood commission meeting, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace was among
those who showed up to complain about parking problems.
Some in the neighborhood have also complained about the family's rental
arrangement. The company that owns the house didn't obtain a rental license
for two months, securing one just this week after it was warned by city
regulators.
"Maybe some of the upset has to do with politics a little. I couldn't say
for sure, but I know that people don't seem to be upset about Tillerson's
situation. It's much less intrusive," said Ellen Goldstein, an elected
neighborhood commissioner.
The Secret Service has sole responsibility under law for protecting the
family, but neighbors have noticed what they describe as an unusually large
and aggressive security presence. Ivanka Trump arrives and departs in a four
-vehicle motorcade, Robinson said.
"There are more of them than I have ever seen," Robinson wrote in a letter
to Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser and other city officials. "Frequently
several of them are milling outside of the house at all hours having
conversations and staring meanly at anyone in view."
The letter — which also complained about parking, trash and noise —
spurred the city government into action. On Friday morning, District
transportation crews were outside the house, removing "No Parking" signs.
The department said no permits had been sought for parking exemptions or
sidewalk closures on the street since Trump moved in. Yet vehicles
associated with the Trump-Kushner house have been seen parking in the
restricted areas for hours at a time, and barriers have been erected on the
sidewalk in front of the house, forcing pedestrians to cross the street,
next-door neighbor Rhona Wolfe Friedman said.
Even without extra restrictions, street parking for non-residents is limited
to two hours.
"The parking patrol on Tracy Place has always been ultra-vigilant," Robinson
wrote to the mayor. "Suddenly, the parking enforcement has disappeared."
A Secret Service spokeswoman, Nicole Mainor, said agency officials met with
neighbors and city officials on Friday morning and addressed their concerns
about parking and other disruptions. She declined to answer specific
questions about the level of protection the family receives, citing agency
policy.
It's not clear whether Ivanka Trump is aware of any complaints, saying in a
statement emailed Friday afternoon by an aide: "We love the neighborhood and
our family has received an incredibly gracious welcome from our neighbors."
Christopher Chapin, president of the neighborhood council — who doesn't
live as close as the neighbors who've complained — said all the attention
is good for Kalorama.
"We are delighted to have political figures like the Obamas, the Kushners
and the Tillersons living in our neighborhood," he said. | l*******2 发帖数: 2550 | | c******e 发帖数: 2503 | | h*******n 发帖数: 8906 | 4 居然没人抱怨相隔两条街的巴马一家?保安措施差不多级别吧 同样扰民 同样路边摆垃
