[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GGW incorporating as a non-profit is a relatively recent thing because they received an offer from a foundation do do advocacy for affordable housing.

Just because developers want more density and are willing to take on more affordable housing - thus aligned goals, doesn't mean GGW is in the pockets of developers.

There are a lot of environmental, tax policy, transportation policy and other quality of life issues that make more density attractive. A lot of people want it, an the fact is, land is a finite commodity, so why not use land in the smartest way possible?

GGW again has been actively recruiting and training candidates for local ANCs, who will vote the party line on development and planning issues if they are elected.  They already have GGW recruits on several ANCs, including in upper Northwest, and look to increase their numbers.  These seats matter, because DC agencies like the Zoning Commission and the Historic Preservation Review Board accord ANCs "great weight" on matters that come before these bodies.[/quote]
