[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The comments submitted by Ward 3 Vision for inclusion in DC's comprehensive plan do seem like a troll parody:  encourage denser taller vibrant upscale mixed use development all over Ward 3.[/quote]

Sounds great. I am going to support those comments.[/quote]

Until today I didn't know that there are actually two groups advocating more density along Wisconsin Avenue - I saw a post about Revive 3E on the Tenley listserve this afternoon:

And their website is terrible but Ward 3 Vision appears to have been around for years and is very active on Twitter:

So thanks to the pro flower pot crowd I'm now getting linked up to some folks who are a bit more forward thinking than you are![/quote]

Not sure about "Revive" but Ward 3 Vision has been funded by large developers since its inception.  Greater Greater Washington is also funded by development companies.  This is all part of a strategy to weaken zoning laws and increase profits, particularly in certain neighborhoods.  The latest proposal sponsored by Ward 3 Vision is an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to address what they cagily call the "missing middle."  It would effectively upzone single family housing areas for several blocks in from the major arterials, to permit construction of more commercial, 3-4 story condo buildings and triplexes.[/quote]
