[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there are some things to walk to, the problem with this neighborhood is that there's not much room for improvement. Union station is always going to be there. The postal museum (which is a full city block with no ground floor retail) will always be there. The semi circle and then blocks of parks in front of union station will always be there. The congressional parking lots will always be there.  So while buildings can pop up here and there, this neighborhood will never really fill in the way gallery place did in the late 90s. Note that I'm excluding the development along mass ave west of union station from this, because it's really not "union station" and admittedly that neighborhood is filling in quite nicely.  But if you work "at" union station, you'll never be close enough to that mass stretch to use it for lunches, etc.  [/quote]

Would you really want them to tear down the Postal Museum and Union Station to put up a condo building with retail??

I don't work near Union Station but I do commute out of there, and every time I walk in I enjoy the beautiful, stunning building, and the view of the Capitol.  It would be a fine place to work; I don't really need to be next door to a TJ Maxx or have a million options for lunch (I bring my lunch).  And one huge plus that may not apply to everyone is that there are a lot of possibilities to live close to the area and walk to work and maybe even send your kid to the neighborhood school, that might still be on the edge of affordable for a two-career family.
