[quote=Anonymous]I call BS on the Density Development Lobby. They claim to be pro-environment, except when it comes to the neighborhoods they want to develop. Then they fight even modest setbacks for trees, grass, etc, insisting on the maximum height and maximum density up to the sidewalk or whatever the bare legal minimum is. As a result in DC, neighborhoods under redevelopment pressure are losing even more of their tree canopy. Instead of greedy grasping for maximum mass, green design that incorporates setbacks for trees and light is true “smart growth” as it allows denser development while respecting the built environment and enhancing neighborhood quality of life.
