Is this because it is now landmarked? No one wants to touch it?

Trees take time to grow. They are planted.

Again, the counterfactual was black asphalt with idling cars and virtually no space for people.


It is impressive that DDOT planted such that the DDOT-installed crosswalk leads (partially) directly into plants.

No one wants to invest in a property across the street from a vape shop.

the fact that place still sells weed and flavored tobacco shows this city isn't serious about enforcement

+1. A marijuana dispensary is going in at Van Ness. Literally, between UDC academic buildings. You can’t make this stuff up. Looking at you Mr. Frumin.

Nothing wrong with a legal dispensary. The one in CP isn't legal, sells unregulated stuff, and sells vapes probably too close to WIS (1/4 mile).

Nothing wrong with a drug dispensary on a college campus whose mission is to pull disadvantaged kids out of poverty? Do you even hear yourself?

Why is UDC even at Van Ness? Most of its students live mikes away in SE. Think of the dense development potential of this transit-rich site.

Then Mayor Tony Williams tried to do exactly that. But a lot of folks called him a racist so he backed off. But, hopefully, we all can agree that having a marijuana dispensary on the UDC campus raises a lot of concern. It’s an absurd outcome resulting from a poorly written law from an unserious City Council.

Looks like the Macklin property was sold for $5.1 million. No new deed has been filed, so the new owner is not public yet.

It looks like all three buildings of the Macklin project were sold to different developers at the tax sale. Still some liens to be paid off before construction can restart. What a disaster!

The “developer” is an amateur who inherited some money and then proceeded to lose it on a development business that he didn’t really understand. How familiar sounding. How very Trumpy.

So this developer is also worth $4 billion?
