[quote=Anonymous]One place in Northwest DC that could definitely use more development and density is at the Tenleytown library site. They built the library with reinforced pilings so that housing could be added on top later. That time is now. DC owns the site so it would be perfect to add eight floors or so of subsidized public housing. This would both add vibrant density and affordable housing in a desirable area. There also may be room to have a modest sized homeless shelter on site, so that AU Park/Tenley can take care of the growing homeless population there. All of this should fit on the library site, or at most 45 or 50 feet of the Janney property might need to be used, no more than the width of a typical AU Park lot. This would be A win-win by putting truly affordable housing on a site that the DC government already owns, and giving new residence direct access to one of the best elementary schools in the city. How do we turn this idea into action?[/quote]
