[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly.  Bowser’s developer friends can keep their “vibrant dense mixed-use urbanism” and shove it up their coronavirus.[/quote]

Seriously. I hate whenever people talk about it like it’s a good thing. It’s basically charging people to overpay for a “luxury” condo that’s made of cardboard, stick 200 people in one building like prison ants, all while making sure people don’t buy cars for the “environment” with artificial green space that’s mainly inhabited by nearby food trucks and homeless people.

Yeah f that. [/quote]

If you don't want to live there, you don't have to. Nobody is forcing you to live there.[/quote]

You don’t understand.  We DO live here.  We value being able to see the sky.  We like the Height Act and the fact that it gives our nation’s capital a skyline that is  unique among major cities.  We don’t feel deprived because we don’t have the generic look and feel or so many other cities. We like our low key, walkable neighborhoods.  We appreciate our green space and the fact that we can walk while avoiding crowds, now more than ever.

So, yes, take your dense mixed-use elixir and peddle it elsewhere.  Maybe some sucker somewhere else is still buying it.[/quote]

No, you don't live in those buildings. What you're saying is: We don't want buildings like that near us, so other people, who actually want to live in buildings like that, shouldn't get to live in them.[/quote]

What people are saying is that DC values it’s neighborhoods for lots of reasons, including those made quite apparent during this time of “home confinement.”  Why should they be transformed into some generic imitation of Clarendon, Ballston, etc.?[/quote]
