[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nice try. The project is too dense and too massive and too intense in its proposed usage. It is a unified whole and must stand or fall on that basis.  GDS doesn't get to decide that---the city, with input from the community-- does. From start to finish it is a greedy development scheme with all sorts of undisclosed interests swirling around the development team and the school's Board.  They MUST keep their school on the Safeway  site and their tiny little existing campus. They don't want their school fronting along Wisconsin Avenue. They have bit off way, way more than they can chew on behalf of all their development friends and family.[/quote]

Well it is a whole hell of a lot better than what exists there now.  It is the crappiest, ugliest, most blighted section of decent NWDC ---  by far.

You people who live around there should be on your knees thanking GDS.  My kids don't go there, they are on the Close, and I have no love for GDS as a school, but by God, they are doing Tenleytown a huge favor by buying those sites and developing them into a much nicer urban area than what exists now.  That part of ate key town could be plunked down right in the middle of SE and it wouldn't look out of place.  I get not wNting rental apartments, that's comp,Evelyn five but the rest, the retail and school and nice buildings?  That's just cutting off your nose to spite your face.[/quote]
