First, here's a lowdown on the Wisconsin Ave PUD post approval and post an appeal.
Cheryl Cort sounds off, saying “Blocked PUD helps keep W3 exclusive.” >> https://twitter.com/cherylcort/status/992041605476552705
The only thing keeping W3 exclusive is her cheering on a project that has NOT ONE affordable housing unit for a family in it.

This is now a pattern for “Smart Growth” championing developer projects in Ward 3. For example, the Superfresh site >>
Smart Growth and Cheryl Cort are happy with 10% affordability, without mentioning bedroom sizes in a part of town greatly needing more affordability for families (3+bedrooms). She calls this project and affordability levels “commendable” while pointing fingers at folks in Ward 3 saying they are NIMBYs and perpetuating segregation. What a farce!
Go here and scroll down to Corporate Sponsors >>

So, what is their finger pointing really about? What are their motivations for seeing the Comp Plan get watered down and turned discretionary?
The fraud continued at the Zoning Commission. Another status quo 600 new units with 5 family sized units and about 50 “affordable” studio/one bedrooms, in SW >>

Despite the community opposition, you don't see any solidarity from GGW/Smart Growth down here demanding more INCLUSIVITY in these projects. More affordable units for families. More amenities for families.
HMMM…. why?
This needs to be checked, investigated, and exposed I do believe.
