[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile the Mayor is moving forward with plans to relocate the DC Jail to Blue Plains so she can open up the remainder of Reservation 13 to development.  [/quote]

Didn't she already give away one piece of prime Reservation 13 real estate to developers for $10?

$10?  Seriously?  What did the city get in return?  Or should I be asking what did Muriel get in return?

Council needs to be looking very very closely at this.

I want to see a detailed accounting and justification of why the city isn't getting fair market value.[/quote]

Here's one article:  http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/breaking_ground/2016/01/donatelli-submits-metro-adjacent-hill-east-plans.html

$10 - "there's a steep discount to offset the number of affordable housing units" - um, every other developer is also being mandated to provide 30% affordable housing units and I don't think anyone else has ever gotten that kind of "discount" for providing affordable housing.[/quote]
