Within eyeshot of the 2nd district station.

I’m going to guess that it is related to the homeless shelter that is also right next door to the police station.

There has been a series of violent incident at Cathedral Commons that never occurred before in that area.

70 year olds beaten and one laying on a pool of blood on Wednesday at 10 pm.  Thursday 2 people stabbed at 5:30 pm.  Police station next door.  Cathedral Commons.  So if we want to downsize and move into an apartment this area is OUT.

Website "the only thing common about Cathedral Commons is what all of our residents share: the desire to live well in a tranquil and historic corner of DC."

1-2 bedrooms available at about 3200-4200/month. Don't know about uilities.  So you could live there and be a freakin prisoner not able to go to the grocery store in your own building environs?  CVS-Giant - restaurants.  https://www.cathedralcommons.com/retail/[/quote]
I remember the days when Ward 3 residents blocked this development for a long time. It wasn’t because they were against apartments generally (look across the street), but moreso they liked the convenience of the Giant and CVS with the parking lots behind. They were successful in blocking this for a long time until it was finally built and I’m going to be honest, the quality of construction is terrible. Aesthetically it would be been better off staying as parking lots. Add the crime to the mix and this area does not seem to have a positive trajectory. I had some hopes that City Ridge would make a difference, but then DC allowed a Lidl to go in right next door. Awful planning and messaging to developers. No reason to build to high quality standards when the city will just undercut your investment in various ways. Let’s not forget the Psychiatric Institute of Washington. Interestingly, the city doesn’t see fit to ensure that Navy Yard/the Wharf also shares this burden. Only Ward 3 and that’s thanks to Cheh. [/quote]
