Neighbors of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner held a meeting this week to complain that the new arrivals in DC weren’t doing their part to make things livable for those who live in the neighborhood.

Even though former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama live a short distance away, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also lives nearby, neighbors recently complained about the Trump and Kushner household at a recent meeting. Among those reportedly in attendance was Fox News anchor Chris Wallace.
Problems ranging from lack of parking near their home and improper trash removal have neighbors up in arms.
“They’ve completely ruined the neighborhood,” one neighbor told the Associated Press. Another noted that some of the ire may be due to the couple’s politics. Both Trump and Kushner have senior positions in the White House advising President Donald Trump.
Ivanka Trump has been made aware of the issues, though she didn’t directly reference them in a statement to the Associated Press.
“We love the neighborhood and our family has received an incredibly gracious welcome from our neighbors.”
Ivanka’s neighbors are hardly the first locals to have problems with her presence in Washington, D.C. In February, a popular DC fitness expert sent out a note to her gym members about Ivanka’s attendance at one of her classes.
Gym owner Anne Mulhman requested a private meeting with Ivanka after she discovered she had attended one of her SolidCore workout classes. Muhlman wrote a note to other members saying that Ivanka’s father was “threatening the rights of many of my beloved clients and coaches.” She later apologized for her comments.
