[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not zoned for housing and it is owned by DPR...why would you even think of public housing as some sort of racist veiled threat?[/quote]

I don't know why public housing would be put on hearst park, but the new homeless shelter was wedged into a police station a few blocks away rather than the original observatory plan, so who knows?[/quote]

City land is already owned by the city. The observatory location was a third party where the city would have had excessive costs.[/quote]

If you mean those accrued by crossing the more influential neighbors, sure.[/quote]

No,literally, they would have had to pay a developer for both the land and construction. By building where they did, they only incurred construction costs. Also, the current location is closer to a metro stop and potential jobs than the first site.[/quote]

I thought the made a deal that really benefits the developer more than anyone in the end?  And since when does DC care about saving money...pleeeaaaase...! :D  :lol:  :roll:  :wink: [/quote]
