[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The city is simply putting the school back on the market, inviting the usual deep-pocketed firms to suggest yet more desultory office space, hotels for the 1 percent and other dreary things." "

office space provides room for jobs and pays property taxes.   Less office space in DC means more jobs in the suburbs instead (downtown office space has a low vacancy rate and high prices)  where transit is less convenient (even in the most transit oriented suburban locations)

Hotels, whomever their customers are, pay property taxes and provide employment.

Neither needs to be dreary.

I do not know how serious the financing issues for the museum are, nor the legal situation.  I DO think that this kind of hostility toward economic activity is uncalled for.  I am glad that Mayor Bowser is developer friendly  - it suggests that her admin will  continue the progress that was made in Gray, Fenty, and Williams administrations. [/quote]

I don't have an issue with developers, however, in order to be a well rounded city, we need more than condos.  I want our community to be rich and museums are a part of that.  All of the soul DC had is gone.[/quote]
