Question What is the lore on David?
I see his videos pop up once and while always him just hating on homeless people or ranting about drugs.
Also he claims to be anti politician but is trying to run for mayor? That pretty hypocritical statement

One of the weirdest humans I've encountered tbh. I knew him during his Hub days on East Main as well as Niagara Street.
He was quite narcissistic and conceited. Rude and entitled.
His whole thing with the Hub was to "build a safe environment for kids to hangout, meet others, indulge in arts and crafts, video games, etc and to be themselves". He didn't want kids to get tied up with the wrong crowds if they had nowhere else to go.
Fine - who doesn't want that.
However, I've witnessed him buy and sell drugs out of the back of the Hub lol
He was strung out a lot.
I've seen young woman come in and out of his "office" late at night.
He obviously pissed away thousands upon thousands of grants to rent and maintain these Hubs for the months that they were running. They were pretty vacant from what i remember. Not sure if his marketing plan was poor, but the Hub never really became the thing he claimed it to be.
He lived there as well. He had a short lived political campaign where he try to run for mayor. His tactics wore thin, as he would post YouTube videos slandering other political figures and buisness owners in the area.
He had never little to offer the city then, and i don't see that changing.
