[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The largest public housing unit is on Capitol Hill (Potomac Gardens). The neighborhood blocks will never have the baby boom on what a housing project can produce.  DCPS knows this and that's why the SES residents don't even come up as a blip on Kaya ' s radar.  Why hell every superintendent/Chancellor has ignored that 10 block radius pretty regularly.[/quote]

This will likely be torn down soon like all of the other concentrated public housing buildings. Talks about relocating these residents into mixed-income housing (to improve the residents' lifestyles admist the crime around their homes) have been going on for years.

I've heard rumblings. The question is not if but when.[/quote]

This is incorrect! [/quote]

The H St. Corridor is one of the Great Streets initiatives and hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested in this area. Gentrification is happening at a rapid pace (not that I'm a fan) but there are lots of demands being made of the developers and big retail businesses coming into the neighborhood. Yes, the public housing will not exist in its current form. The residents will be moved into the many hundreds of apartment buildings in the area currently being built. There are a percentage of set-asides in each apartment building for these residents.  It's very easy to relocate them within a few blocks of where they currently live.

Why do you think this is incorrect? These discussions have been gong on with developers for some time.[/quote]
