This whole insipid, excessive "monuments everywhere" thing is completely out of control. The Eisenhower family objects to the memorial design,, wasting $125 million. The entire Lincoln Memorial was $3 million. The WWII Memorial, $250 million, while our vets are homeless and denied medical care! Martin Luther King,,,his own neice said "this is too much, MLK was a simple man". Roosevelt Memorial is just ridiculous. The memorial for the 9 dead in the Metro crash is going to spend $1 million while we have a beautiful grove of trees at the Brookland metro stop,, a perfect place for a "living memorial". NO, NO,NO,, TOO SENSIBLE!! But the DC govt. and WMATA want to waste the money and are getting ready to cut down and build over the trees at Brookland -CUA with thousands of new housing units and total urbanization surrounding the metro station which is already flooding during storm. Can't leave a stick of natural mature trees and any open space with real soil,,pathetic! "Smart Growth", what misuse of the word. Where has the judgement of our leaders gone?
