FAQ

Common Questions

Are you funded by developers or real estate interests?
No. This site is entirely volunteer-run and self-funded. We accept no outside funding from any individual or organization with a financial stake in Takoma Park planning or development decisions.
Why are you anonymous?
For the same reason other community advocacy groups in Takoma Park don't fully disclose their membership. We believe our arguments should stand or fall on their merits and their sources — not on who we are. If we're wrong about something, show us the source. We'll correct it.
Are you just the opposite of CVT — advocating for development?
Our mission is fact-checking — checking whether specific factual claims hold up against primary sources. We are not a pro-development advocacy group, and we don't endorse candidates or political platforms. Where we have opinions, we label them clearly as such. When CVT gets something factually right, we say so.
What's your political affiliation?
None. We are not affiliated with any political party, candidate, or campaign. We do not endorse candidates. Our contributors have different views on policy — we're united by a commitment to accurate information, not a political agenda.
Can I contribute a fact check or article?
Yes — we're always looking for people who have read a planning document closely, attended a council meeting, or spotted a claim worth checking. Reach out through the contact form above. We'll review your contribution for factual accuracy and sourcing before publishing anything.
