[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a close neighbor, aside from tearing down the buildings and making a public park, this is not a bad outcome. I assume that Sidwell will eventually end up controlling the post office and Fannie Mae building on the same block. That means less chance of a huge condo building. I have noticed that the Cathedral Commons still has  a lot of empty store fronts so apparently there is no immediate need for more retails space.[/quote]
I agree with your practical viewpoint.  The simple fact is that the property is being sold.  The only question is what's reasonably going to replace it.  Another multi-story apartment building would be the worst, but a string of town houses would be almost as bad because they'd just add more density and they'd suck up parking.  School is the best use there.  And if the school could also absorb the other Fannie building and the post office, that would make sense too.  At the very least, the post office should shrink in size.[/quote]
