The international movement of adaptive re-use of existing and historic sites, is successful in all kinds of imaginative re-developments. Only in DC, The District of Corruption, is McMillan Park, our critical 25 acre, central, green space and backup clean water security facility, being handed out to mediocre development Giant Trammel Crow and divided up with EYA, and Jair Lynch. Half a billion dollars of public land, privatized when green space for our families is absolutely necessary for a decent quality of life, and public health.

As the adjacent 80 acres of The Armed Forces Retirement Home is denuded and turned into 4 million sq. ft. of development, saving McMillan Park is absolutely essential in a real World Capitol. 20 acres of underground vaulted galleries are perfect for "indoor agriculture", that would produce millions of pounds of fresh vegetables and even Tillapia, and of course provide revenue for the city government.

The "surplus and disposition" from Bowser and City Council has to be STOPPED! She was lied to by Deputy Mayor Jeff Miller about DC paying for the Fontaine slime campaign, but she did nothing "who is minding the fox?"

see this City Council testimony by Brookland activists Mary Pat Rowan (landscape architect)and Daniel Goldon Wolkoff
(historic restoration specialist) who explain our great recreational resources corruptly surplussed to the developers, and the PR campaign Deputy Mayor Miller hired(Jamie Fontaine) to "neutralize opposition", and create false appearance of community support! As if we didn't know the depravity of DC "Culture of Corruption" by our City Council and Mayor.

Daniel confronts Anthony Hood "we don't rubber stamp anything" Chairman of the DC Zoning Commission in these short videos. You can have your city corrupted for VMP profit, or fight for your home and a gracious place to live.
