Top Complaints About Janet Yellen According to her Neighbors
It's not easy being the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve. But as if having one of the most powerful and difficult jobs in the country isn't enough, Janet Yellen has also made a different set of powerful enemies: her neighbors. Wall Street Journal chronicled some of the problems that the other residents of her gated Georgetown community of Hillandale have with Yellen and more specifically with her security team. They take issue with everything from the way that they dress, to the security measures that they take, to the abundance of fast food that they eat. Take a look at some of the most memorable lines from the piece below.
· As neighbors tell it, earlier this year, the security detail protecting new Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen barreled through the cul-de-sac where she lives in oversize vans loaded with guns, cameras and takeout pizza.
· When Ms. Yellen leaves her home, a second truck then "speedily pulls out of the security driveway…all the while spilling fluid onto the street, which has now left a permanent stain."
· Neighbors seem especially put off by the aesthetics of the security detail, in particular their blue uniforms and—in the words of one resident—"doughnut bellies."
· Security trucks, it continued, "weighing approximately 7,000 pounds each" sit idling on the street for "approximately 22 minutes daily" at each Yellen morning pickup.
· "The government is paying $5,000 or $6,000 a month or more to rent a whole townhouse in Georgetown to put cops in," says international attorney William Shawn, who lives down the street from the newcomers. Is this really necessary, he wonders, to protect an unarmed economist from Brooklyn?
· They mounted on the roof a camera that looked like a streetlight on an interstate and proceeded to monitor—and disgust—the neighbors.
"Bob Mueller, who you would think would have a much more dangerous job dealing with terrorists all over the world, had people who were businesslike, didn't socialize and waited for him outside the gate," says one unhappy resident, sitting in a living room decorated in chintz, silk topiary and family silver. "Now we have this group, overweight, wearing the most ridiculous blue uniforms with the most ridiculous blue caps, and they have guns that are visible."
· "We need to put in proper safeguards. How are we going to feel if somebody leases to the Taliban?" -William Shawn

Janet Yellen: problem neighbor.
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's security detail is causing quite a disruption in her exclusive gated community in Georgetown.
Yellen lives in Hillandale, which The Journal says is governed by, "50 pages of rules banning fences, motorcycles, certain paint colors, tree species and excess dogs and cats (no more than two total per household)."
But when Yellen moved in, her detail and its "doughnut bellies" upset the community's order.
From WSJ:
"As neighbors tell it, earlier this year, the security detail protecting new Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen barreled through the cul-de-sac where she lives in oversize vans loaded with guns, cameras and takeout pizza. It established an 'armed camp' next door to [Hillandale resident Sallie Forman's] townhome, according to a written bill of grievances presented by concerned neighbors deeming the uniformed police presence 'uncomfortable for residents of various religious persuasions,' such as Quakers."
The community's grievances against Yellen's detail also said 7,000 pound trucks idle in the street for 22 minutes a day, and that another truck "speedily pulls out of the security driveway...all the while spilling fluid onto the street, which has now left a permanent stain."
Hillandale bylaws, the Journal notes, "expressly prohibit car fluid spills in the common areas."
As chair of the Federal Reserve, Yellen is the most important banker in the world, and it doesn't seem outlandish to have a large security detail ensuring her safety.
But according to the Journal, some residents like William Shawn, an attorney who lives down the street from Yellen, are wondering if all this muscle is needed, "to protect an unarmed economist from Brooklyn?"

...according to the many articles about this. Maybe he was just "An Untouchable" and Yellen feels the "Anti-Fed Folks" are out there lurking and wishing ill upon her.
Ron and Rand Paul packing guns or their goons..
isn't a BIT OTT.
Warren was discussing Yellen's ABILITY to be Fed Chair....not the rest of what would come.
You just don't get "Nuance" very well, do you..."Tweety Bird." (Those were fun cartoons between "Tweety and Sylvester" weren't they?)
Your emoticoms are a bit over the top in this post ......but, whatever. 
's

"back in the day".
I hate "gated communities."
It's entitled snobbery, nothing less.
And she's likeable and doing her duty.....BUT, that she feels so "Under Attack" that US Govt. authorized all these people to Protect her ...is interesting in its OWN RIGHT.
WHY does YELLEN need MORE SECURITY than those she has REPLACED.
It's intereresting to ASK WHY...
useless without pictures
Not pizza!
