[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was, and since the younger people are advocating for the world they want to live in and not the one of their grandparents, we should listen to them. They are more concerned about living healthy and climate change because they have more to lose.[/quote]

Thank you for this. I know people of all generations support change in this neighborhood and are educating themselves about the issues, but it doesn't feel that way sometimes.  Like the speaker running against Keith who literally said that the solution to the business struggles on Connecticut Avenue is creating more parking.  I'm exhausted.[/quote]

Exactly. Cleveland Park is among the most walkable neighborhoods in the city, with about as much residential density on Connecticut Avenue both north and south of the commercial strip. So the goal ought to be to make it as pleasant and inviting as possible for the thousands of potential customers to walk and bike to the commercial area to support said businesses. The idea that there should be more cars, more traffic, more pollution is 1950's style BS that should be completely ignored.[/quote]
