So where are all those posters who were claiming that density=death?

Clowns.

Green space being converted to concrete boxes - check!

Density advocates aren't transit advocates so they are hypocrites and we should not have additional density - check!

Density advocates aren't green but opponents of additional density are - check!

Maybe if you'd been taking your hydroxychloroquine these past few weeks you would have gotten out of the house and realized that public transit hours have been cut - those of us actually using public transit of course are aware of these changes.

Dear Hydroxydude,

You are giving other Density Bros and Bras a bad name. The conversion of green space to impermeable concrete is happening and while the rain traps and cisterns are nice, it is not the same. Your apparent lack of knowledge about public transportation that you are supporting make people question your knowledge on anything. Your argument that AU is not walkable and does not have access to transit is laughable and illustrates that you argue from a script rather than knowledge of DC.

Come on over to AU Park or Tenleytown and enjoy some walkable city life. Heck look them up on any walkability index and they are some of the top scores in the city. Your cherished Walter Reed Campus falls way below. Oh and interestingly Takoma Park metro stop is farther from Walter Reed Campus than Tenleytown metro is from AU. Maybe they can call AU up and learn how to run a FREE shuttle. The walk is less pleasant as well to Takoma, but that almost sounds like I am rubbing it in.

Thank you

LOL - I live within walking distance of the AU Campus and we get annual season passes to the AU soccer team and go sledding every winter adjacent to AU's campus and have always been a car light family where both adults take public transportation to work. And I've been using the AU shuttle for 27 years now though I prefer walking or biking to taking it.

But nice try!

So did you want to provide some examples of green space converted to development in DC or Ward 3? Or are you going to again cite the small part of the police station parking lot that was used to build the parking for the 2nd District police station?

Hold on, you claim to live there and yet you also claim that AU is not walkable to the Metro? What is wrong with you or was that just hyperbole?

Part of your broader point is in fact valid - there are parts of Ward 3 that are actually pretty dense and the area around AU is actually one of the densest in the entire city in terms of population and dwelling units.

And despite having poor transportation infra it is still a very desirable and livable area.

From the AU Student center to the Tenleytown Metro is 1.1 miles so some parts of campus are a bit closer and others are a bit further.

While I regularly walk that distance multiple studies have shown that most people will walk .25 miles to catch a bus and .5 miles to catch a train.

WMATA uses the same standard when measuring whether they consider a neighborhood to be Metro accesible.

So again you are wrong - for all practical purposes the area around the main AU campus is not really in a good Metrorail accessible location - if it were I doubt that both AU and DHS would be spending tens of millions of dollars annually between them running shuttles to the Metro.

But it is sort of a weird tangent to this moronic thread but anything to keep it alive!

Setback rules as written protect a good portion of the overall green of our neighborhoods (lawns), and if changed to allow gentle densification under the suggested 'missing middle' program (ie 8 family small apartment dwellings), we would lose those.
