[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that Reno should be widened to 4 lanes at least.  Some of the little houses along the street aren't really worth saving (some barely have font yards as it is).  D.C. could use eminent domain to upgrade this arterial.[/quote]

Good luck with that. From Rodman down to Woodley (I think that's the lower boundary) it's an historic district. Not to mention the embassy land by Tilden-Upton, the Melvin Hazen Trail part from Tilden to Rodman, Eaton school from Macomb to Lowell....yep, let's just destroy the neighborhood school so commuters have a bigger road!  Then, below Eaton you have Beauvior land, St. Albans land, and more embassies. [/quote]

Didn't I read that Greater Greater Washington is proposing comprehensive plan amendments to weaken historic district regulations, esp. in Cleveland Park/Woodley Park?  Historic preservation shouldn't halt urban change.[/quote]

No, you are misrepresenting GGWs position on the comprehensive plan.

Obviously HP limits urban change - but it should not prevent all new housing supply, with consequences for housing affordability.

Meanwhle you seem to want to reduce housing, for the benefit of commuters who do not even live in District.[/quote]
