[quote=Anonymous]So what is the smoking gun there?

People create groups all the time. Just look at the Committee to Save Johnsons, the Tenley Neighborhood Association, the Friendship Neighborhood Association, the Tenley-Friendship Neighborhood Association, the Committee to Stop Overdevelopment, the Association for Rational Development and the list goes on.

People from Ward 3 Vision believe that greater population for the city help support local retail and expand the tax base making our city and neighborhoods better, and that the place to create more housing is in areas where there is existing transit options, and not in the single family neighborhoods. So 5220 Wisconsin Avenue, on top of the Friendship Heights metro station seems like that would make sense.

Does Ward 3 Vision have a bank account to where a developer could "donate" money? Is Ward 3 Vision an incorporated entity?

What proof is there as you claim, that Ward 3 Vision is an astro turf organization being supported by developers? Because to my knowledge, nothing could be further from the truth.

People supporting for more affordable housing and regional environmental concerns by concentrating new development on our retail and transit corridors is a pretty standard and progressive perspective.

It seems like the only people fighting new development are those who want to shut other people out and make housing more expensive by limiting supply.

So who are the greedy ones? The people who build new housing or the ones who are trying to prevent people from living in "their" neighborhoods?
