[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with you OP.

I like this area the way it is.  We don’t need more development, especially when it comes with less green space.

I think that’s the issue for many people.  More development, but not better facilities (parks, libraries).

Why does the County want to pave over every speck of green space and cover it with high density housing?  People need trees and parks.[/quote]

Please provide a local example of park space that was converted to development?[/quote]

A community garden area in NW DC near McLean Gardens was reduced to build an ugly parking garage, after DC converted the police parking lot to a seven-floor homeless shelter.[/quote]

So no doubt you opposed that proposal and instead advocated for the parking to come from the under utilized parking garage in Cathedral Commons?

In either case community gardens serve a pretty small number of people - only a tennis court would likely be used by fewer people.[/quote]

They gave you an example of green space being paved over as asked. Green space serves everyone... because its green. You know how clean air works, right....?[/quote]
