The Uptown Theater owners oppose bike lanes on Connecticut because it will take away customer parking.[/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Are we really supposed to give a shlt about the feelings of the owner of a drastically underused theater regarding city transportation policy? Why doesn't anyone ask owner of the Takoma Theater about transportation policy in Ward 4?[/quote]

The Uptown is one of the most important buildings in Cleveland Park, which locals fervently hope will be reopened as a theater or arts venue.  The owner has been vocal that parking is important. Who would want to see the Uptown be lost to just more mixed-use generica?

I'm a DP, but I can love the Uptown and  its historical significance to the area while still understanding that they may not be the expert on this subject. That's why I listen to the studies [/quote]

I’m a Democratic progressive but I can understand the view that businesses have a better sense of their customers’ needs and desires than central planners in the D.C. Office of Planning and self-styled “urbanists” or “activists” do.[/quote]

Well I can't do anything about your choice to be willfully ignorant [/quote]
DP. How is it that urban planners know so much about people and their preferences and yet are not massively rich?[/quote]

Because they conduct and read studies, use census information and other data. It is a very quantitative profession.[/quote]
