[b]Why does that matter? [/b] I have visited many times. I'm a native Washingtonian. You?[/quote]

Because advocating for people to put stuff you don't want, over there where you don't live, instead of over here where you do live, is the definition of Not In My Backyard.

When you say you've visited many times, are you referring to your visits to the Frederick Douglass house?[/quote]

Actually, yes, I have visited Frederick Douglass house. I've also done some work there, and taken buses to it (need for better transport arteries). The folks in Anacostia are clamoring for super-markets. Why wouldn't the mayor push some vibrant development in there?[/quote]

Something like this, for example?

The bar is set so low. We are celebrating the announcement of ONE supermarket for Ward 8 and yet knocking the density for Ward 3. If the Mayor cared about equity she would have another half dozen supermarkets lined up for Ward 8. Where are Ward 8 residents getting groceries during COVID. Hopefully PeaPod is driving EOTR.[/quote]

Can some body explain the economics of this?  If Ward 8 is so underserved by supermarkets, wouldn’t chains be tripping over themselves to get into that market? There is literally no competition.  It makes no sense.  [/quote]
