The reason the doc only shows a diagram for siting at the school is because obviously all the sites meet the criterion of "has enough room," otherwise they wouldn't even be on the list.

And it seems to me that once you've cleared the hurdle of "big enough space," the biggest obstacle DDOT could possibly face in trying to pick a site is, in fact, "getting congress to change the rules so DC can use the plot." Or is your view that this congress is very good at just sitting down and doing the obvious and coming to logical conclusions, especially when it comes to letting DC decide its own affairs?

And the golf course? Really? In a choice of building over an unprogrammed lawn vs building over recreational infrastructure, you choose the latter?

Agree with you that the RFK lot is never used but that is not the issue. And the fact that you think the Metro flyover is some kind of proof that this could be done means you either don't care about or are willfully ignoring the differences in the project stakeholders and political climate between the streetcar project and Washington Metro in the 70s.
