[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Ward 3 people I know, primarily in Cleveland and Woodley Park, would consider themselves supporters of increased density and a more sustainable transportation policy (less cars).  They also want more housing choices - affordable housing for sure, but even more accessible housing.  More people living in a walkable neighborhood is good thing, not a burden to be shouldered.  I'm not sure if they would know to call themselves urbanists or smart growth supporters, but in the end, those are just labels.  I think Mary Cheh (who I guess this odd conspiracy-laced thread was originally about?) is pretty much in line with this, which is why I expect she will win re-election handily next year.  Who is running against her, and will they champion the opposite positions on these issues? Can't beat somebody with nobody![/quote]

People don’t support significantly more density in the historic districts. [/quote]

So why are people in historic districts like Logan Circle, Shaw, Capitol Hill etc supporting and enjoying massive new density added to their neighborhoods?

Maybe replace it with "Cranky older people in Cleveland Park don't support more density in their historic district" and you might have something.[/quote]

Equating Cleveland Park with Logan Circle and Shaw makes you look like a moron. Those are dense urban neighborhoods. Do you want to tear down houses to make way for apartment buildings? [/quote]
They are sense urban neighborhoods because of the density push of the past twenty years. I grew up in Logan Circle and it was not remotely dense. I hope they ease up on the throttle a little. Something gained can also be something lost.[/quote]
