[quote=Anonymous]GDS is closing the supermarket that was most popular with the many fixed-income residents of its area. Sidwell-lite.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The contrast with the GDS consolidated campus plan not far away from Sidwell could not be clearer.  GDS is investing to develop tax-paying mixed-use for DC, and is including affordable/workforce housing which is so sorely needed in upper NW.  (And no needy sick grandmothers are being pushed to the curb.)[/quote]
Are GDS boosters trying to rebut criticism of their development plans by stirring up criticism of the Sidwell plan?  To borrow a phrase, "someone convinced you that attacking another school is going to help you."  You should stop now.  Doing this does not present GDS in a flattering light.[/quote]

Maybe not someone with GDS but with a developer (or more precisely, another developer, as GDS wears two hats now).  The person may be trying to start a groundswell somehow to pressure the Washington Home to re-market the property (or for Sidwell to back out) so that the developer gets a shot at it.
