[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very important distinction. The harm of this project will be both to DC generally and Tenleytown specifically. A large swath of land that could be used for dense mixed-use development, creating hundreds of new homes for residents in Tenleytown, millions of dollars of tax revenue directly, and more through enhanced valuations of surrounding properties, is instead being devoted to a private school. Greater Greater Washington should get on this.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tenleytown doesn't get tax revenue.  It all goes to DC.[/quote]

reading is so hard.  So many words, so many letters and stuff:

"[B]ring desired vibrancy and renewal to Tenleytown and needed tax revenue and housing to DC."[/quote]

Except that wasn't the post that prompted the comment.  This one was: "By putting a school on a valuable commercial lot, the school will actually take tax revenue and vibrancy away from Tenleytown."[/quote][/quote]

1.  Dense mixed use in proximity to existing residential areas can also lead to lower property values because of traffic, parking and other external costs imposed on the neighborhood.

Can you provide any evidence of this or a citation?[/quote]
