If your house looks anything like these gingerbread rowhouses by Flickr user noahdevereaux, you have a problem, and you need to call someone. In his rundown of the new D.C. Council committee assignments, Loose Lips explains that you'll still want to call Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry, who still chairs the housing committee (and is now responsible for workforce development, too). For other committees, check the list provided by Mr. Lips and more information from Greater Greater Washington. For more on gingerbread housing, see the authorities at Unfogged.
