If you don't think the CFA is politically appointed, you are sorely mistaken. And the problem is that they are politically appointed wrt DC's place as the federal city, so they are pretty disconnected from being too concerned about the local.

That's why we have that piece of s*** architecturally Station Place development. J. Carter Brown wanted a glass building. Kevin Roche was his friend, a former member of the CFA.

It was greased.

Nonetheless, I wrote a piece on New Year's Day and among the point about the Post needing to cover more "local" news mentioned how CFA doesn't get much coverage by local media in terms of how it works.

I don't know anything about Harriet Tubbard, but if you look at the creation of historic districts from the 1920s to the very early 1960s in Charleston, Savannah, Richmond, Georgetown/DC, Brooklyn, the process was pretty comparable-similar.
