@MJ I don't think the point the author is making is that Anacostia needs to delay development. I think he is saying that BUSINESS and DEVELOPMENT is what is missing with all the vacant stores. But I think he is also saying that it's pretty messed up this area is in this bad of a condition and new development and the vacant homes and stores are not mutually exclusive.

Areas come in and out of favor all the time as I've seen it in my 40 plus years. When it's in favor people from out of town and connected to the city politicans make money. When the neighborhood is out of favor the people leave town laughing all the way to the bank. It's happened with North Capitol Street , Georgia Avenue, and other places. I hope this isn't what is happening over there in Anacostia.
