[quote=Anonymous]Ward 3 is not alone in their requests for information and a transparent process. This article is mostly about the Ward 6 site and the lack of information surrounding that decision. The quote in bold really sums it all up for me. "I was frankly opposed to anything going up at 2nd and K without being part of the process," says Dr. Joseph Evans, senior pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church at 901 3rd St. NW. "It’s not about whether it’s homeless people or not. We were not permitted to participate in what takes place literally 10 feet from my property line." [b]"What we are saying is you cannot usurp a democratic process for political expediency,"[/b] he says, adding that the historically black church has occupied its location in the busy neighborhood for more than a century. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/city-desk/blog/20781274/councils-revised-dc-general-plan-raises-familiar-questions-about-process[/quote]
