[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was waiting for a piece like this, given the changing objectives of the more progressive urbanists. And here it is. Thanks GGWash for being so, so predictable these days.

"But, upzoning isn’t right for Langley Park"

https://ggwash.org/view/82739/why-upzoning-in-gentrifying-neighborhoods-like-langley-park-isnt-always-a-good-idea[/quote]

The comments on that post, from the same 8 people who comment on every post there, are truly appalling and show GGWash's true colors. They're all basically :we need to upzpne these poor.people thr hell out of Langley Park." Just gross.[/quote]

But the piece itself argues exactly the opposite: that upzoning would be a mistake because it risks displacing poor people. So the problem you have is with GG Wash commenters, not with the actual site, maybe. [/quote]

GG Wash leader herself called the article "lazy." Clearly she agrees with the commenters.

Why GG Wash is publishing things its leadership considers "lazy" is beyond comprehension.[/quote]

Get a grip. It's an Op-Ed. It's common practice to publish pieces the editorial board disagrees with.

Were you aware that the Washington Post prints Henry Olsen columns? Do you have any outrage to spare for that, or have you used it all up tilting against the GGW windmills?[/quote]

Is it common practice for WaPo editors to publicly sh-- all over stuff they publish? No.[/quote]
Holy cow. If you read through the thread sh admits what everyone has known for a long time. GGW is “unethical”. [/quote]
