[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DC bought the site, they could knock down the building and do both mixed income housing and a school on the site. I would love to see it be a boundaryless ECE program like Stevens and military road. Then the nearby schools could cut out pk4 and have more classroom space for the mandatory enrollment grades.

Personally, I think friendship heights is an even better location for this type of development, but whittle would be fine too. I have absolutely zero faith in DC being able to do this type of forward thinking and investment, or to be able to carry it out effectively if they did but a parcel.[/quote]

Can't demo the building. Its an historic landmark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelsat_headquarters[/quote]

Landmarks can be demolished or altered, it just takes more time and steps. They aren't talking about knocking down the Lincoln memorial here. If the city wants to do it, it can be done. But I don't see any indication that they want to do this.[/quote]
