The tower cranes are supported by the free market and demand. So, yes the resentment is surprising if it's being directed at the government over development happening in other parts of the city.

There isn't demand to build in Anacostia currently. So, you're comparing Apples to Oranges. The real question is why some of these properties, funded with government money, never got finished. That's a scandal.

Certainly these units could at least be turned into affordable housing units. But comparing what is happening across the river to what is happening in Anacostia doesn't do any good.

There is incredible demand to build and live in the main part of DC, that's why there are so many cranes. It's not because of Gray "sending money across the river." That's patently false and you should challenge a source on something like that.
