[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a bad idea. It's an awful idea.  The preservation of parkland has both an immense value intrinsic value that cannot be replicated else in where in the District (e.g., public health, recreation).  The land would also be extremely expensive to develop given the topography and propensity to flood.

There is plenty of land on either side of Rock Creek Park and throughout the District/MSA that can support denser housing. [/quote]
There are currently several suboptimal land uses at Rock Creek Park, like the horse stables that could easily be converted to housing without having any impact on parkland. There are no topographical issues to development of the horse stables.

Having this land set aside for a park will be useless in the future if we do nothing to stop climate change now.[/b]

Seems that everyone turns into a NIMBY when it come to the stuff they enjoy.

This is where I stopped reading this thread... you want to eliminate the green space... to stop climate change?[/quote]

There are plenty of parking lots in ward 3 that should be made into housing first.[/quote]
