[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fear mongering on this thread is laughable and deliberately inaccurate.

The DC Office of Planning proposing to allow some 7-9 story buildings along Wisconsin Avenue is not going turn DC into Manhattan or even Bethesda both of which have significantly taller buildings over much larger areas.

In fact Connecticut Avenue have significantly taller buildings along its entire length than what is proposed for Wisconsin Avenue and that hasn't turned that corridor into anything resembling Manhattan.

BTW nothing has been proposed upzoning any portion of DC that is currently zoned for single family homes.

But keep on scaring people with misinformation.[/quote]

You are joking right? You don't understand how turning a bunch of three story buildings into seven to nine story buildings will change the character of a street?

I agree with you that Connecticut Ave already has plenty of taller buildings, as does Cathedral Ave. Not too mention the apartment buildings and condos along Wisconsin. Not sure why density advocates love saying that Ward 3 needs more density.[/quote]

Connecticut Ave and Cathedral Ave already have taller buildings, but taller buildings on Wisconsin Ave will be the end of the world.[/quote]
