[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't disagree that many of the issues they supported provided a net positive to the District, but those are all over 30 years old. Their more recent battles and the rhetoric of their leadership when they testify at the Council or city agencies are that of people who are more concerned with preservation of free parking spaces and limiting affordable housing opportunities. Those are not supportable goals.

Further, I was commenting on the link provided by the Committee of 100 supporter. [/quote]

The Committee of 100 recently took a strong stand on opposing major changes to the height limit in Washington.  Far from an outlier position, it was echoed by the overwhelming weight of testimony before the National Capitol Planning Commission and by the entirety of the DC Council.  Being able to see the sky and the impressive open vistas of the Capitol, Washington Monument and other landmarks are among Washington's most distinctive features and great attributes, IMO.  I realize that the Committee's (and Council's and NCPC's) position may go against the profit-maximizing desire of certain corporate development and real estate speculation interests, but so be it.[/quote]
