[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the article is a hit job meant to make the neighborhood look bad.  It should be fair to ask effected officials questions like:

How exactly will the community center and library be build out? [b]The private developer will use the city monies earmarked for the site to build out the facilities to the specifications outlined by DCPL and DPR[/b]

What amenities will be provided?  [b]To be determined via community input and the RFP process[/b]

Will there be any green space left reserved?  [b]Yes, there is a minimum amount mandated by zoning and the community has asked for more, so the RFP process will provide the guidance here[/b]

Will there be a playground?  [b]Most likely, since the community has asked for it[/b]

Will there still be a basketball/pickleball corurt? [b]Most likely, since the community has asked for it[/b]

Why can’t the city pay to develop these city owned resources which are available to and used by city-wide residents now?  [b]Because it is expensive and the model being deployed exchanges some market rate units for the affordable ones[/b]

Is this the best location to add housing when there are numerous other housing projects in flight nearby and many currently available units in the neighborhood?  [b]Both are needed, in Chevy Chase AND in Friendship Heights as well as other neighborhoods. There are not many currently available units in the neighborhood[/b]

But of course, when you ask questions like that you get slammed as racist and anti-affordable housing. [b]No, these questions have been asked and answered, you just ignore than answers[/b] [/quote]

The bolded above is based on my understanding from having attended the various community meetings.[/quote]
