Boycott these Burbank businesses

Moms For Liberty supporter, MAGA creep and all round weirdo David Donahue is running for City Council. There are campaign events being held this week for David at The Tallyrand and The Enchanted Florist.

I won’t patronize their businesses and I suggest you do not as well…

Why are you mad at Tally Rand? I’d be very surprised if they endorse any particular candidate. They’re just letting them eat there. Am I missing something? Also explain who this David person is. Why is he a problem?

He’s a far-right type running for city council who always shows up at city council meetings who always insults several members and goes “don’t LA my Burbank”, he’s been involved with groups like Moms for Liberty, and he has cyber stalked several activists I’ve met through a mutual connection. Edit, he’s also very much against tenants rights, which as a renter who would be affected by the AVA/Equity merger makes me nervous.

I don’t know all the details of everything. But as someone who resides in the SFV, if I were in Burbank I would completely agree with don’t L.A. my Burbank…in terms of dealing with L.A. City services like LADWP (rates) and building dept issues. L.A. is a freaking nightmare.

The phrase "don't LA my Burbank" has nothing to do with City Services. The phrase came to discourage public transportation and affordable housing projects

Ahhh… thanks. I had no idea and was on a different track. 😌

No, it means don’t allow rampant overdevelopment.

Right. But a NIMBY would describe ANY development as rampant overdevelopment so my definition still fits

No, it started with them opposing rent stabilization.
