[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cutting a street off may be obnoxious to neighbors but I don’t see why it’s elitist. If I ran a school and I could limit traffic nearby - i’d Certainly give it a shot.[/quote]

The very definition of #clueless #elitist.

Don’t lose sight of the original plan, which is postponed for now.  GDS wants to bring a vibrant mixed-use restaurant, residential and retail center facing Wisconsin Ave., adjacent to the consolidated campus.  This would be an enormous community benefit because it would redevelop a couple of blocks in an otherwise somewhat rundown section of Tenleytown.  Besides this direct benefit, the development would be a socially responsible investment by GDS, as it would contain at least ten percent affordable housing units, produce increased tax revenue for DC social services, and create an income stream for more school financial aid in furtherance of GDS’s social justice mission.  Although the loud voices of the NIMBYs and those who are uncomfortable with mixed income housing in “their” neighborhood oppose GDS’s vision, the majority welcomes this needed investment in the community by an important institution.[/quote]
