[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately they already gerrymandered the crap out of Hill East so that the RFK site is in a thin strip of Ward 7 instead of 6. Since most W7 residents are EOTR, they will happily support a new stadium because they're far away from all the negative effects that capitol hill residents nextdoor in W6 will have to suffer.

Kind of a genius political move if you think about it...[/quote]

More than 12,000 residents in Hill East-Ward 7 between Benning Road and Potomac Avenue isn’t quite the “gerrymander” you seem to believe. (What would you have cut from Ward 6 in addition to much of Navy Yard that became Ward 8?) And as it turns out almost three years later that it’s now the Trumpiest voting precinct in DC!

Regardless, the differences in impact for residents on the east and west sides of 15th Street are de minimis if you lived here while there were games at RFK, which at a capacity of only 56,500 was then the second smallest venue in the NFL.
