[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://ich.dc.gov . [/quote] Bowser plans to put a homeless shelter WOTP, in Observatory Circle. However, there are questions about whether the scheme is an inside deal in favor of a politically-connected property developer who sees a chance to get difficult-to-obtain upzoning for the parcel now and then convert the shelter to upscale condos when the lease to the DC government expires in 5-10 years.[/quote] I live about two blocks from this site, and if this allegation is true, I see it as a win-win: shelter for homeless families now; development (and tax $$) later from what is now a vacant and underutilized piece of land in a great part of town.[/quote] Two blocks west or east?[/quote] West - though I don't know why that would make any difference in my views.[/quote]
