The appeals court contradicted Carolyn Brown of Holland and Knight, she said they have the OK to demolish any time. The judge corrected her, he said and affirmed in the decision, that as long as court cases are pending they cannot get demolition permits. So what kind of jump start are they foisting on you now? We need the MAG to get on this, and a proper ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY from EPA , not corrupt DC agencies. The developer consistently thumbs their nose at law, and Bloomingdale residents, So here comes the dust, the noise, pollution , diesel fumes, massive trucks and broken up roads, you can look forward to years of construction, like 10 years of disruption, YOU WILL SUFFER kiddies! Time is short to join the next legal phase and stop this "Monstrosity on Michigan Avenue"...they cut down 500 trees, jack hammered the grand staircase, destroyed 66 varieties of trees and plantings, destroyed and shoved aside the gorgeous Senator McMillan Memorial fountain(see Herbert Adams sculptor) all violations of Federal law, from the start in 1987, now they have sterilized the site and i'm sure used carcinogenic "Round up" to defoliate,,,, quite a neighborly exercise. When will you Bloomies ever condemn Bowser, McDuffie, Mendelson, Gray (electoral fraud), HT Thomas Jr.(embezzler,inc $55,000 bribe to EYA), for keeping the fence up and spitting in your face all these years,????Park is too dangerous, what kind of imbecilic garbage is that? For all this, you Bloomies are still rewarding the DC govt. and VMP,,, but what credibility do they have. They lied straight faced to Bowser and Mendelson (covered that up) about the unconstitutional Fontaine PR campaign...WHO CARES?

These nuisance lawsuits need to end -- they're a waste of resources and time, and they disrupt what is supposed to be a steady pipeline of new housing options for DC residents (and would-be DC residents). Ultimately, what will happen, and what's already begun to happen, is that developers will forgo the PUD process altogether, resulting in lower density projects, with less housing, retail, and community space, and affordable housing options.
