GGW is not going for any of these. At most, 1-2 bedroom small units. That's what they want to put up in place of single family homes and duplexes, many with 2-3 bedrooms like you want. Get it? You are better off moving into a transitional neighborhood (like you did before) and buying the home you seek.[/quote]

What's with the fixation on Greater Greater Washington? It's a blog. They're not building anything, they're not in charge of anything, they're not making the decisions.[/quote]

they are lobbyists with a massive "in" with DC govt who impact policy in an oversized way. they are very wiggly about any kind of scrutiny of their proposals, great at masking their goals under altruism. and kind of awful.[/quote]

Lobbyists, huh. Hang on just a second...

Graves, Horton, Askew & Jenkins, LLC
Greater Washington Board of Trade
