The truth is that everyone wishes that UDC would pack up and move away from the neighborhood.  It's such a downer on commercial activity, etc.  It would be better if UDC relocated to a more central location closer to where more of its students live.  Imagine how the UDC campus could be redeveloped for housing, commercial, a school site, recreation.  I've also wondered why the neighborhood doesn't get the Metro renamed "Forest Hills," which sounds so much more pleasant than "Van Ness-UDC."   The latter is not a neighborhood.[/quote]

Translation: I wish the small school that has all of the students of color would relocate to some other neighborhood so new shiny things could be in our neighborhood.[/quote]

BINGO. [/quote]

Mayor Anthony Williams himself proposed relocating UDC to Southwest or Southeast and selling the Van Ness campus for redevelopment.  He reasoned that it would result in full funding of a new modern campus in more accessible location for most of its student body.[/quote]
