[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I think it is fine to increase density and have affordable units as part of a mix.

[b]What I do not favor is the city buying the Wardman[/b] and warehouse all of 'the poors" in one place as a way of solving the "ward 3" problem.

Bottom line, increasing density and spreading affordable units across  the new addresses better expresses economic and probably racial diversity across the Ward as oppose to just in one place.[/quote]

Of course the Smart Growth lobby disfavors the DC government buying the Wardman.  It's a very juicy, potentially highly profitable market rate development opportunity.[/quote]

Of course, the NIMBYs in Cleveland Park want to warehouse all of the poor people in one place that isn't their neighborhood.[/quote]

Last we checked, Cleveland Park has the only homeless shelter in Ward 3.  Mary Cheh got it moved from its orgiinal proposed location in Mass Ave Heights when some of her more influential constituents complained, and of course there's no shelter located in Cheh's own Forest Hills neighborhood.  John Eaton is the designated Ward 3 elementary school for the shelter.  So don't lecture Cleveland Park unless other Ward 3 neighborhoods are doing their part.[/quote]
