[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, lots of upper NW suburbanites lamenting about "our city."  [/quote]

Yes, I live in upper NW. Also born in DC, raised a family here and worked in a non illustrious or lucrative job, but have built my little piece of belonging and happiness through hard work and commitment. I have every right to oppose Browsers proposal. It is "my city". And GUESS  WHAT? Every other resident of DC, rich or poor, recently arrived or longstanding has a right to an opinion for or against as well. Do you have some litmus test as to who may share their voice in democracy or consider themselves a resident of DC?
I lived in many parts of the city before they were gentrified. And there are still many neighborhoods that are not gentrified or are transitional. There are also many homebuying programs in this city, and MUCH support for low income - I received it at one time. We are also surrounded by less dense areas and more dense areas (depending on preference) and transport options. There are currently a lot of different options, and she needs to keep thinking of a sneakier plan to ally herself with crass developers. This one is obvious from the starting gate.[/quote]
