[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, its hypocrisy. It also makes you wonder what they dont like about high density, since they dont particularly want to live in it themselves?[/quote]

And the mayor has proposed additional safeguards for a Crestwood and certain other “Rock Creek East” planning area neighborhoods, even as she tries to weaken existing zoning and historic protection for “Rock Creek West” neighborhoods.[/quote]

This is such a weird point the Ward 3 NIMBYs keep making.

Crestwood doesn't have a commercial strip on which to upzone - do you want to upzone 30 foot wide Argyle Terrace?  Even 16th Street is just 2 lanes in each direction and even if you upzoned the single family lots it doesn't give you much land to work with.

Just like no single family lots in Ward 3 are proposed for upzoning no single family lots in Ward 4 are either.

And for what its worth (not that facts matter to people who live in an echo chamber) the Walter Reed re-development is the single biggest un-built approved housing project in the city and it happens to be in guess where - Ward 4 - and as a bonus it is within walking distance of where the Mayor lives!

So what are the "additional safeguards" for Crestwood - maybe you can cite them for us?[/quote]
