There’s a big difference between thoughtful, balanced growth that respects and maintains neighborhood character and dense “smart growth” mixed-use generica that changes many of the quality of life elements that people value in their neighborhoods.[/quote]

Yup. The difference is that everything anybody actually proposes falls into the latter category, and the only things in the former category are imaginary projects nobody is proposing to build. The way this works out in reality is, "I'm not opposed to change! I just don't support Proposed Project A, Proposed Project B, Proposed Project C, Proposed Project D..."[/quote]

In NW DC, look at the BF Sauk Park Van Ness Or The Woodley projects, both of which were designed sensitively to add density while fitting within their surrounding context, with exquisite design detail.  Very successful.

The Office of Planning proposing to allow 12 and 13 story buildings in a neighborhood historic district of one and two story buildings: incredibly inappropriate.

Both of them were strenuously opposed by people who say they support appropriate, balanced, thoughtful growth.[/quote]

No one opposed the Park Van Ness project. No. One.[/quote]
