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

Factually incorrect.[/quote]

ANC supported it. There may have been a couple of individuals, but nothing like what you see in entitled neighborhoods like Cleveland Park or Tenleytown/Friendship Heights.[/quote]

“Entitled”?  Cleveland Park has the homeless shelter for Ward 3 and Eaton is the designated school for it. No other neighborhood wanted to touch the shelter.[/quote]

Whatever happened to the shelter updates? There has not been one since February. Was the ribbon cutting ceremony in March. Those 'dormitory' designed buildings are not going to seem ideal now.[/quote]

That was the main input from the ANC commissioners, to build two lower height buildings on the site, to look more like residential garden apartment buildings and to be more compatible height and scale of the
 houses next to the site.  But DC insisted on a single tower to save money on security, etc.  I agree, now for other reasons having every one concentrated in one tower doesn’t seem ideal.[/quote]

One tower with every two apartments of families sharing one bathroom, no apartment kitchens -rather a dorm style microwave communal set up on each floor? Yeah, genius.[/quote]
