Good points, Dizzy.

The DC Council would need to decide between their own competing desires. Do they want a hospital in Ward 7 or not? Do they want to stimulate growth in NoMa or not? Do they want less traffic and noise around campus or not?

Putting the most lucrative programs in NoMa and Hill East would bring huge benefits to those areas, far outweighing the loss of taxes on the property itself.

Regarding effect on neighborhoods, I should have said no "net" effect. Removing the hospital traffic and all the buses serving off-campus housing will have a very positive effect on the neighbors north and west. The movement in and out of campus would only be toward the M Street commercial area and the other two campuses.
