    This is a pipe dream... Do you really think Marion Barry would want his Ward developed like this? How long do you think he would last in there was educated populace in Ward 8...not long.

    Considering Marion Barry was showing this area to developers, way back in the 80s, I think he'd be thrilled to see this happen in W8.
