Can’t.  Then I won’t be allowed to do my renovation.  Don’t you love corruption?[/quote]

If you are doing work that requires a zoning variance this is not an unreasonable fear, the process is utterly arbitrary. Although I would say the FCCA has little influence with the ANC these days. [/quote]

I'll agree to disagree with your first sentence. I understand why you feel that way, but I don't share that fear. Your second sentence is spot-on.

The ANC (3D) supports returning the school for a public elementary. The community has enough of a memory to recall Foxhall Village fighting the redistricting plan to move the neighborhood from Key to Hyde. They greater Key community was willing to help tow the line. When the same redistricting is proposed in three years time, I expect the memory of their current opposition to reclaiming the Old Hardy building for use by DCPS to sting. [/quote]

To the first point: ANC 3D seems to have a new spirit of late. But I've sat through meetings where commissioners had impassioned debates over picket spacing on a fence, gravel depth in a driveway, and paint colors. These were for homeowners seeking renovation permits. And these weren't technical discussions, just the esthetic opinions of the members. God help the homeowner when a commissioner has an ax to grind.[/quote]
