[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, there have been continued attempts to draw supermarkets, Walmarts etc into those areas. Their biggest concern is loss prevention. Co locate a police substation or a violence preventor hub that will work with the store. Expand the homestead act and homebuying loans for teachers , fire fighters etc How about more subsidize to buy homes there for existing residents. Incentives to developers for mixed income housing there. More investment in schools, parks, recreation, transit hubs. How about adding tourist draws? Historic anacostia trail like tenleytown has- with placards and sites. How about more recreational events like races in the great parks and tracks. Develop waterfront. Ferries. On and on... [/quote] The local politicians will complain about gentrification. It really is a lose-lose situation. [/quote]
