All this does make me think of the more intelligent and better designed plans that are happening in Columbia Heights... but here in ward five we're happy with the scraps, huh?

Why can't we get a smart development like the Tivoli in Columbia Heights? Giant and Home Depot would have been just as successfull if they were obligated to build entrances to the street and required to parking either on top of them or below them in garages. If I wanted a shopping center I would move to PG... Eckington/Brentwood deserve a better, friendlier shopping experience that makes our nieghborhood more safe. No one walks to the Giant and who would want to? It's pretty far across that expanse of pavement from the metro station. I would rather go home and pick up my car first to pick up the small amount of groceries that I need, then to walk across that car infested parking lot... How un-city like Brentwood is.
