Rachel Baye of the Examiner updates the previously reported news that PEPCO has purchased the 5220 Wisconsin Avenue lot. Of interest are the comments in the article, particularly this one:
A high-rise would have been too large, creating an "oppressiveness to the walkability of the area with the tall buildings looming over the sidewalk," said Marilyn Simon, a board member of the Friendship Neighborhood Association.
So which is better, a 5-7 story building with street front retail, or a substation?

Ms. Simon does not know what she's talking about. The neighborhoods of Ward 3 are doomed to more of the same as long as people with her mindset have the ability to sway the direction of city growth.
