Welcome to November, and a new issue of City Paper. In print this week: A look at one of the few subsidized housing complexes in Chinatown; meeting the DJ who’s trying to best Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Chehfor her seat; tracking who will get to build farms in D.C.; and a chat with the local shamans who will energetically cleanse your home.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Wah Luck House, the low-income apartment complex in the heart of D.C.’s shrinking Chinatown, continues to stand its ground in the fray of rapid gentrification. On City Paper’s cover this week, the history of the building, and how its residents have fought to stay and dealt with a recent sale.

  • The Office of Campaign Finance ruled Wednesday that Mayor Muriel Bowser did not violate campaign finance laws when she hosted Dionne Reeder and Anita Bonds at her get-out-the-vote rally in mid-October. The agency’s general counsel wrote that the complainant, Public Citizen, didn’t meet the burden of proof because it failed to provide “evidence that the campaigns received goods, services, property or some tangible benefit from the Re-elect Bowser Campaign.”

  • One day after the University of Maryland received widespread backlash for reinstating football coach D.J. Durkin, the school announced it would part ways with him. Several players have spoken out on social media insinuating their support of the decision.
