[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Van Ness will be sui generis.  There is a sizable lower income cohort, which will continue to grow as DCHA moves forward with additional capacity.  The number of SFH is relatively small and most of the other residential capacity are apartments that range from efficiencies to two bedrooms.  I think it's too soon to tell what this means in the longer term.   I don't see anyone losing money down the road by purchasing a condo in the neighborhood at a fair price.  The neighborhood will only improve further.  [/quote]

It would be a great location for a "Peabody south" or an ECE only campus.[/quote]

A lot of people suggested that it cluster with Amidon and do just this, but the rich parents in Navy Yard freaked out--ostensibly about kids having to cross S. Capitol.  [/quote]

i think there was some thoughts about that with Brent as well. The issue is the school wasn't designed to be an ECE campus. They would have needed many more classrooms with attached bathrooms for example. [/quote]
