[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the first upzoning project should be an eminent-domain takeover of David Alpert's house. It's a single-family home less than a half-mile to the Metro, which should not be allowed in the eyes of many here. Just a horrible use of that land. If that home was in Ward 3, he'd demand that an apartment building be built on that land, so let's start with him.[/quote] He would be the first one to want to upzone his block. I don't know why you type this as a bad thing. He has been open about it for more than a decade and supported a very large development literally across the street from his house.[/quote] Exactly. He goes to zoning meetings to support upzoning including on his block. But we need more than just advocacy at zoning meetings. We need to change the zoning rules so there ARE no zoning meetings where any neighbor can object.[/quote]
