David C: A minor pet peeve:

Eminent Domain. It is a power reserved by the government. It was used on behalf of the Nationals, not by them. Just had to get that off my chest.

To the topic at hand: This is the same inexplicable planning trap that politicians get stuck in. Will they put a Festival Marketplace or an Olym there too?

This could become the way to change up some of the fundamental problems with the Mall. If they move some of the agencies and bureaus in forgettable buildings to this area, mixing public and private uses, they could demolish the old headquarters and sell the land to developers who would mix in private uses. That might actually restore the vibrancy of near Southwest.
