That would be better than building more overpriced luxury apartments. I think with the removal of some parking or putting some underground they could have enough space for some more affordable housing and a new stadium.

Not underground, not there. What it would be is ground level with a parking garage underneath the building.

Someone touched on it but any residences built, unless there's a real hard push, will be luxury condos, not moderate income units.

If that's the case they shouldn't build residents. D.C has plenty of luxury condos as it is.

Not enough money in anything else. Or buyers.

Remember I live in a Bayside town where more than one County Commissioner used to say that the people who lived here 30/40 years ago didn't deserve to and needed to be forced out. Which many were.

In other words, riverfront property can't be wasted on the working poor.

Yep. I don't make the rules, I just know what they are.

Nah...it'll just stay at DC b/c...well, politics also .

Personally I still think Springfield VA is the front runner, but we'll see.

P.S. If Sen. Robert Byrd is still around you can bet that it'll go to WV .

Who would want to voluntarily give up a Pennsylvania Ave office address for either PG or Fairfax? I'm surprised there hasn't been talk of GSA building a new FBI HQ at the current location.
