Like so many government projects; we hear things long before we see the results - or even the project started. But now it seems a project - will be happening which has been long talked about and even longer awaited.
DC waterfront projects will be seeing some redevelopment over the next 5 years. The SW waterfront will be transformed from the small fish markets and restaurants into a huge neighborhood with residential, office space a new hotel more boat slips and lots of parking.
It will be interesting to watch the development in DC. The high crime rates and poor schools deter many home purchasers.
Blooming for you.
Sometimes the big cities with high crime and bad history have to do something to make change happen. I really hope this is a positive move and good karma follows into the city. I like the idea.
I agree with Cindy. Redeveloping does change the dynamics of a bad neighborhood. In Southern California in Riverside, this exact thing was done in down town. Gorgeous old buildings that were over ran with homeless and such, they paid people to move in and revamp the homes and buildings. Today, it is one of the most gorgeous down town areas.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY AGRESSIVE PROJECT. HOPE IT TURNS OUT WELL
