[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cleveland Park was built exactly for what it was zoned for. It wasn't zoned to be any more dense than that. If you wanted it to be more dense, then city-wide zoning laws needed to have been changed.[/quote]

Zoning code was developed in 1958. It conformed to what was built in Cleveland Park in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

At this point, it is a historic district and cannot transform. But  it is a waste of billions of dollars of regional investment not to have a few more people able to live on top of a metro station.

You realize this causes both development of greenfields "out there" as well as artificailly increased housing prices in the District, right?[/quote]

You realize that there are almost 2000 new housing units already under permit but not yet constructed within a one-mile radius of the Cleveland Park Metro?  And that doesn't include anything east of Rock Creek Park.  [/quote]

Fannie Mae on Wisconsin Avenue doesn't even qualify as Cleveland Park, and is a whole different neighborhood than the subject of this thread.[/quote]
