[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should have been Eaton from the beginning, as it is the only Ward 3 elementary that's not already horribly overcrowded.   As a Ward 3 resident, I think the shelter makes sense in the new location.

Relatedly, how revealing that Bowser told Mendelson to "F_k off," because the Council's plan to use city-owned property doesn't allow her campaign contributors to make millions.  Apparently the Council's new plan will save the City well over $100 million -- kudos to responsible politicians.  Thank got her stinky plan is back on a responsible track.[/quote]

If you read the information on the Mount Vernon Triangle location, it is almost 4x what CM Mendalson thought (as he has no familiarity with downtown and didn't consult the neighborhood that had the air rights and development in place). It will also take 8 years to complete meaning the other shelters (like Ward 3) will have to take additional families until it is built. [/quote]

How in the world would it take 8 years to complete?  Are D.C. government employees building it?[/quote]

Perhaps you don't go downtown. Or are not from DC. Maybe you are not familiar with Capital Crossing, 395 air rights and what is going on in that neighborhood.  Do you even know where that neighborhood is?[/quote]

Neither of those issues are remotely close to the 2nd District Police station.  Do YOU know what you're talking about?  Bottom line, a shelter next to the 2d District station, which is property already owned by DC and therefore less paperwork, should take no longer to build than the original plans for the shelter on Wisconsin avenue.[/quote]
