Smart-Aleck Growth wanted to see City Ridge built higher, with buildings out to the sidewalk. Green lawns are such a waste of good Urbanism.

Just wait until they open the Lidl next door.

Does Lidl attract a bad element ? Uptown Place is supposed to be rather upscale.

Lidl is the most downscale supermarket that exists. I think everything they sell is castoffs, including the produce.

I’m very surprised. Upton Place advertises itself as “one of Northwest’s most exclusive enclaves.”

I guess they ran out of supermarket chains to install on Wisconsin Avenue. Why we need two Whole Foods, a Giant, a Wegmans, and a Lidl within about a mile and a half is beyond me. Not to mention a Trader Joe's a bit farther south and Streets and Yes on Connecticut.

Ward 3 needs more vibrant, dense mixed-use retail and food offerings!

The tatte closes at 4 pm. Who is it for?

Breakfast for people that live at City Ridge. Breakfast and lunch for people that work at the office building.

Can't imagine they will last with those hours and that tucked away location. It's not that nice what they've built back there. Maybe they need to put some potted plants out or something - bit of a concrete canyon feel. We know densifiers love that aesthetic though.

Didn't Cleveland Park Smart Growth only start in 2019? They are being given a lot of credit for things already in the works.

What happened to density = inclusive, affordable housing?

LOL. The Days Inn shooting had nothing to do with the voucher program. The participants were all Maryland residents.

The Brooks at the Idaho police dept site is for families. Is that what is actually happening 100%? 1st timers to Wegmans decided not to go back and people prefer the shopping experience in years past of the old dinky Giant plus the dinky Van Ness Giant to the new Giant and Wegman.

More going on than the shelter for families? Embry Rucker in Reston is by the police station and library in Reston Town Center. Takes individuals on a per night and drop in showrs etc plus families as per the website. 2021 guidestar for the 70 beds-most beds used by singles who did not progress to some other form of housing. I feel sorry for the kids and families.

Within eyeshot of the 2nd district station.

I’m going to guess that it is related to the homeless shelter that is also right next door to the police station.

There has been a series of violent incident at Cathedral Commons that never occurred before in that area.

It’s a nice legacy for Cheh to leave her constituents.

Crime in NW DC?? What is this world coming to???

Well, since the density folks promised "vibrancy" there is nothing wrong with questioning the blight we've gotten instead.

Well come on over to the debacle that is the Connecticut Ave. corridor. The panhandlers have to get up early to get a good spot on the CP commercial strip. It’s gotten so bad they’re now all over Van Ness. The smell of marijuana is all over. Mentally ill in all the buildings. But this is what equity looks like in practice. Instead of raising blighted areas in other parts of the city it’s easier, cheaper, and quicker to pull down the nice parts of the city. Please think carefully about who you bore for in November.

Yep, was there the other day and appalled. But who can we vote for. They are all the same..if you can identify candidates who aren't for ruining what still works instead of improving what doesn't, please do.

Why do you keep voting for democrats? Because that’s what this has gotten all of you. And you KEEP doing it!

Because Republicans are hypocritical christo-fascists. Clean up your party first and maybe I'll give it another look.

Maybe it’s time for you to question whether what the Democrats tell you to scare you away from voting for anyone else…

Oh, so now I'm some sheeple and you're this all-knowing genius? Hey over yourself. I see you for what you are and it's disgusting. I'm not a fan of mainstream democrats, but mainstream republicans are far worse. And don't get me started on the human trash that is your far right.

Then enjoy your crime, defunded police, mentally ill homeless running amok and putting tents everywhere, 12 year olds carjacking people, the odor of pot everywhere and druggies panhandling and everything else that makes people leave the city.

Enjoy and quit complaining. This is what you voted for.

+1. There are several progressive cities on the west coast that are about 10 years ahead of DC on this race to the bottom. Hollowed out, crime infested, drug infested, and no families. We have a little time to course correct, but not much.

“Several”? I think you mean just one.

Oregon is about to elect a Republican Governor for the first time in 70 years. The sane people who are left want to protect their childrens futures from people like you.

There is no way Portland is going to allow a republican to take office, whether one wins or not.
