@ Veronica - As I recall, C3A zoning on the 1200 block of Good Hope Road SE would forbid the hypothetical 100% residential building anyway, so it's kind of a moot point, although my gut tells me that there appears to be more concern that the building is used to house a homeless shelter. I could be wrong though.

In my opinion, the issue of DC shelters serving the homeless from Maryland or Virginia is something that is best addressed at a city-wide legislative level (as it has been in the past) and then needs to be properly enforced at the local level.

Also ... Christ House is located squarely within the Adams Morgan BID, which runs up Columbia Rd to 16th St. It is bounded on one side by an apartment building (with no ground floor retail) and on another side by a retail strip; it is also across the street from a retail strip. Though to be fair, it is not exactly located on 18th wedged between two bars as the Calvary shelter might one day be.
