You should stop peddling this lying trope.  Do you know that Commissioner MacWood had the ANC hire an architect and asked Giant to engage with the ANC and the community on a new store back in 2005?  This was several years after Giant/Ahold breached an agreement with the DC government to build a new store.  MacWood brought Giant back to the table.

Breached an agreement with the DC Government? What the heck are you talking about?

Giant first proposed in 1999. Only south parcel, 2 stories, 70,000 foot store with front facing access on Wisconsin Ave.
The so-called GiantGiant people opposed it. Elected MacWoood. They wanted Matter of Right.
Giant cam back with Matter of Right but it was a big blank wall on Wisconsin Ave. No one supported it. The GiantGiant people filed a landmark application. It failed.
In the meantime, Giant sold out to RoyalAhold. The project died.
In 2005, after years of complaints, Nancy hired an architect to work with the new owners.
Bozzuto and Street Sense developed the new plans but it required the 6 story residential building on the north parcel.

Prey tell, what is the breech with the DC Government?[/quote]
