Ivanka Trump's DC Neighbors Hate Her Living There: Reports
Ever since she and her family moved in, it's been a circus in the Kalorama neighborhood, her neighbors say, according to numerous reports.

WASHINGTON, DC — At first, residents of D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood welcomed Ivanka Trump and her family with a handwritten note. But she has already worn out her welcome, according to reports.
The posh Kalorama neighborhood is certainly no stranger to celebrities, as it also serves as home to former President Barack Obama and his family. But Trump's arrival has turned the whole area into a circus, and neighbors are complaining.
Suddenly, Secret Service agents are taking many of the parking spots in the neighborhood and reportedly installed "no parking" signs in front of residents' own houses.

Now, just two months after her father was sworn in as president, Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner are deeply unpopular in the community. Residents say there are sometimes 10 cars outside their house, and agents are everywhere. They also say there's trash being left outside, and agents are changing their shirts in public view, according to reports.
Basically, they've just been really lousy neighbors.

Even Fox News anchor Chris Wallace complained about them at a recent neighborhood commission meeting, according to NBC.
Here are just some of the choice words that Kalorama residents have had for Ivanka Trump and her family:
"They’ve completely taken over the whole street — as if they have the authority! ... It is every bit as disruptive as if a very active business was allowed to come into this residential neighborhood.” - Marti Robinson, a trial attorney who lives across the street. (Washington Post)
“We’re just a little story in a cosmic, bigger story, which is the whole Trump phenomenon and how they push their way around. You have people coming and going. You have three or four, sometimes five, SUVs that are very big and that aren’t from the neighborhood.” - Toby Moffett, former Democrat congressman from Connecticut. (Washington Post)
"Maybe some of the upset has to do with politics a little. I couldn't say for sure, but I know that people don't seem to be upset about [Secretary of State Rex] Tillerson's situation. It's much less intrusive," - Ellen Goldstein, an elected neighborhood commissioner. (NBC)
