I think I know who you're talking about. He claimed to be from this area and work here, but he has a very active social media account and seems chummy with the architect and the chief Ward 3 Vision useful idiot.

I suspect that he's another one of the GDS's paid for team, like the woman who claimed to recently have moved here, with kids that she conveniently didn't bring to the meeting.

Probably posted by the guy with the rambling speech at a GDS meeting about how people who wanted the buildings to be less high were demanding that future residents of the towers wear scarlet A's.

^^^^^^^

You have some serious issues and you absolutely do not speak for me or anyone I know in OUR neighborhood.

I hope that if we can secure bussing for GDS students out to their gated communities in Potomac, we can secure bussing for Wilson students back to Anacostia, so they don't have to take over our neighborhood for an hour a day.

The steps are where all those uber-gifted and talented students will hang out during free periods. Some "community amenity"!

Why not? It will be a place for the community to sip soy lattes and gaze onto GDS.

They already take over the steps to the Tenleytown metro station. It's chaos there some days when Wilson lets out!

And, get off my lawn.

GDS's stairs will be paved with gold. From their evil real estate holdings.
