[quote=Anonymous]In understand that the St. Pats land was actually offered to St. Pat's specifically (from a connected parent or alum?), so I don't think that GDS would have had the option.

I, for one, am happy to see GDS located near a metro. It means much better access for students, families, faculty, and staff, who might not otherwise be able to attend the school. The fact of the matter is that the Palisades location meant that only family with the time and means to commute to that location were able to send their kids there--i.e., relatively wealthy families.

As for the commercial development, having a vibrant retail and residential is a plus. It means more tax revenue for the city, more jobs, and better retail as well as housing that is near public transit. As for the traffic issue, so long as GDS is able to control the carpool situation--which I am sure they will since they can design from scratch--I don't think that neighbors who purchased property off of Wisconsin near a Metro stop have a right to complain all that much.
