[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve yet to me anyone who describes themselves as YIMBY that actually owns and will actually be affected by the project in question.

In Berkeley, they’re all for anti-SFH...well except where all the politicians live. That needs to be a historic district. Your neighborhood though should double the density and triple the occupancy.

I live a few doors off Connecticut Avenue. I would be deeply impacted by new development offered by the changes in zoning in the DC Comprehensive Plan. I support the changes, welcome potential new neighbors and look forward to improved retail in my area. There are a lot of us, and we are younger than our [b]blue haired neighbors[/b] who are pearl clutching over any changes in Upper NW DC.[/quote]
You are very disrespectful of the other people who live in your community. Lot a good look and pretty gross frankly.[/quote]

My neighbors are being disrespectful of the future the rest of us want, rather than the past they are trying to hold on to.[/quote]
I am pretty sure that your elderly neighbors who have lived there for decades are not calling you names. Seriously, get some perspective.

[b]It sounds to me like you have invented in your head the idea that your neighbors are evil enemies and that you are trying to get revenge against them through zoning.[/b]

Totally normal behavior.[/quote]

How on Earth did you come to this conclusion based solely on the PP's (entirely accurate) description of Upper NW's pearl-clutching NIMBYs?[/quote]
