Millie’s and the Spring Valley Shopping Center are good templates for appropriate density and neighborhood-serving retail that are compatible with an adjacent residential neighborhood.[/quote]

A one-story shopping center built in 1939 with a surface parking lot in front? In DC, in 2020?

Nobody's going to build any more of those in DC, nor should anybody.[/quote]

Spring Valley and western AU Park are about as suburban as you can find.  No one wants “urbanism” there.[/quote]

Neighbors Against More Neighbors.[/quote]

Why would Spring Valley trade leafy SFH streets for dense mixed-use?  It’s laughable.[/quote]

Why do you think that you (assuming you're a Spring Valley resident) will get the choice? You own your property (assuming that you're not a renter); you don't own the neighborhood.

Almost certainly the people who lived in the area before your single-family-detached houses and streets were built did not choose for the property owners to build what they built, but here you are nonetheless.[/quote]

This is why zoning is important.  Folks, if you don’t want to see SFH zoning ended, write to Mary Cheh and tell her that the mayor’s comp plan, “upFLUMming  and “gentle density” plans should be DOA in NW[/quote]

LOL - go ahead and send off that email and waste your time.  There are no changes proposed to single family home zones anywhere in DC.  But go ahead and keep repeating the same nonsense on here - no doubt there is some other nutjob reading this thread who believes you.[/quote]
