[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in Navy Yard.  There is very little retail.  No place to shop, no place to get your nails done.  I would not want to live there.[/quote]

I’ll give you there is little retail, but the nail salon on 4th Street is steps from Yards Park is always packed.  [/quote]

Ok, one nail salon doesn't make it a neighborhood. Honestly the areas around are a bit sketchy and not so nice, some ugly housing around outside shiny condos and it feels isolated to me, I would not live there, not to mention with kids and school options.[/quote]

Wut?   What sketchy areas are there near 4th Street SE?[/quote]

I know, right? Where is the ugly housing and sketchy areas? The Potomac River is south. Head east to Barracks Row. Head west to SW waterfront. Head north and you are in Capitol South and the Brent catchment. Maybe all those senators are too sketchy for PP.[/quote]

I am not the PP, however, if you walk along M street between the Wharf and Navy Yards there is a not insignificant amount of low income housing along the way.  I concede I do not know a lot about that housing and tend to assume it is public housing from how it looks.  I take that walk regularly during lunch on nice days, I would not feel comfortable walking there alone at night. [/quote]
