[quote=Anonymous]It's funny, a lot of people bought the places affordable, and now are being criticized for that and the demand is the neighborhood dramatically densify. These folks scrimped and invested and yes their home values rose. Lots of potential neighborhoods where you can buy in DC and ride the same ride. Not sure why the lust for packing in even MORE condos in ward 3. There has been SO MUCH development between what American University has put up on NewMexico /Nebraska and development on Wisconsin and Connecticut in the last 10 years. It's been non stop construction and increased traffic. Meanwhile, developers and management hike rents for restaurants and retail (40,000 a month? Seriously?) and "sit on" properties for years as write offs. We lost the garden center and now Sullivans is reportedly on the chopping block. The Mayor, GGW and council want to stuff in many more condos, but not look at any of these other shenanigans? How is this vibrant or livable? It's going to end up a concrete #fail of rushed development. And then they'll move on with the profits and leave a neighborhood in shambles  Somethings is out of whack.[/quote]
