[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their project is WAY too dense and the usage too intense to be crammed up against single family homes. Period. Full stop. Anyone with any grasp of good zoning practices and that is not completely beholden to developers whose families are safely ensconced in Potomac or taken in by the mystical mantra of "smart growth" would recognize that there need to be  "buffer" zones when moving from heavy duty commercial to single  family homes. If the city starts losing the families and tax base of AU Park to the suburbs, we will be right back to the 80s and 90s when people felt sorry for you if you lived in the District.  The city should be very wary of throwing its lot in with the transiency of apartment buildings at the cost of losing the single family home tax base.[/quote]
No it's a city. Density needs to increase.[/quote]

Sounds a lot like the new homeless shelter to be crammed against family homes in cathedral commons. Tenleytown us starting to look a lot less sleepy, a.lot more trafficked, a lot less parking, a lot more homeless hanging out streetside and under bushes.Is the intention it resemble Columbia heights? Target coming next? I'd like to hear from the anc and Mary cheh on how all these little changes add up to big change and whether its intentional/mindful? Oh, add sdwell lower school in the mix.[/quote]
