It’s an absolutely ideal location for development and should be used to create more dense, walkable housing in the city, ideally located adjacent to one of the most beautiful parks in the country..[/quote]

Wait, didn’t you say you want to pave the park?  Oh, only the parts you want to make money developing?

Dense, mixed use, walkable development enhances communities. It’s a great location for it.[/quote]

But right next to a park.  That you want to pave over.

Rick Creek Park is the green lung for much of the District.  We already have lots of generic, upscale, dense mixed-use “Residences at Vibrant Commons” on top of a Five Guys -without having to develop Rock Creek Park.[/quote]
What does that even mean? The park is essentially a canal for the collection of storm water runoff. Very important, but lets not pretend that it is somehow important habitat. In addition, one grassy field does not serve any important function.[/quote]
