Said in fond apprehension of the possibility of more freeways thru DC:

>>Me, I love DC. Lived here for 26 years. It's hard to watch a frienddie, especially when it doesn't have to...

Do you love the Eckington/Shaw area between Mount Vernon and North 
Capitol? Prez Clinton and the BOT have placed a new freeway on top of
these neighborhoods in the top ten FEDERAL transportation area wish list.
Yep, turning that area into a freeway-shadow perpetual wasteland of empty
lots, a perpetual trackside slum in the nations capitol and the future
site of postcard snapshots (the worlds most famous onramp: the National 
Capital Gateway) will make DC alot more business friendly, on par with
Detroit, where many similar areas of "reserve parking" have proven more
valuable to the tax base than the (hundred year old) neighborhoods of
poor and middle class people they displaced.
