[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP: I don’t want to re-copy such long posts. I’m curious about what the PPs commenting on FH’s lack of density have in mind. Friendship Heights Village, on the MD side of Western, was probably the earliest example in the area of building a dense, high rise community that could take advantage of public transit options. Are those of you describing the lack of density in FH only talking about the DC side of the neighborhood? I have to say that one of the things that makes living in the area attractive is the mixed-density and the green spaces (thank you GEICO!) that balance out the high rises on the MD side.

The geico campus is a tragic waste of valuable land and a crime against planning. The gigantic surface parking lot would be better used as literally anything else including a jail, tannery, or slaughterhouse. At least those would bring jobs to the area!

In general I find the MD side very unpleasant not because of its high density, but because of its awful suburban street design. It should be a narrow street grid like the DC side. [/quote]
