@goldfish Don't forget that this was a public school...This large community amenity...will be lost, and there should be things to make up for that. A small daycare is not even close.

A good-sized daycare at this corner does not seem like too much to ask. As RL points out, There's no question that particular corner abuts 100% residential and should be programmed appropriately. A public use, like daycare, would be an appropriate use, as an alternative to homes at this corner.

I don't understand why David Garber, an ANC commissioner from an adjacent ANC (not this one) feels so strongly about blocking this community's request for daycare at this corner, close to the park the kids at that daycare might use. He wrote the letter at the top of this post, and since then spoke at a meeting here against allowing daycare at 8th and D. I have written to Garber and asked why he is so intent on blocking community efforts to win this amenity, but he won't write back.
