[quote=Anonymous]I know that GGW bloggers and the smart growth echo chamber fantasize about curtailing the Cleveland Park Historic District and upzoning the neighborhood. But it's just that, their fantasy. DC has added over 100,000 residents and is building new neighborhoods, most in formerly industrial areas where little more than decrepit warehouses and parking lots existed and where few existing residents are displaced. It would be unprecedented to roll back an historic district. Those who want to fundamentally change this "village in the city" -- or Palisades or Chevy Chase DC for that matter -- are advocating for a form of urban renewal that would transform the character of neighborhoods. That would be as unwarranted and unwelcome today as it was in the 60s.[/quote]
