[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for the gentlemen you mentioned, his assertion that the Foxhall neighborhood is racist was belied by the very large and diverse group of neighbors who spoke out against the flawed DCPS plan.[/quote]

Diversity meaning cultured accents?[/quote]

LOL and +1.

I lived in Foxhall for many years (recently), and my home looked out over incredible green space. A literal forest with meadows, deer and walking paths that connect to a tri state system of even more green space. The idea that if these people lose even a fraction of the green space at Hardy Park (which frankly, would benefit from a public elementary makeover if these people knew what one was) is laughable. It’s an embarrassment of riches in this neighborhood, they know it. Two schools are being replaced with...two schools. What’s the problem?[/quote]

Yeah, one of the speakers said Foxhall has less green space than anywhere in the city. Oh really? What about Battery Kemble, Glover Archbold and the C&O? And have you ever been to Columbia Heights, Shaw or downtown?

One of the things that's cringe-worthy is how clueless these people are about the rest of the city.[/quote]
