So there are what, 7,400 people on the Cleveland Park listserv? Why is it only 16 people voted against this project. Out of 7,400 people, if there really a groundswell of opposition, I would think that more than 16 people would have participated in this exercise.

As everyone knows, it is much harder to garner support FOR a project than get people to be against it. Under that premise, 16 people is not exactly a groundswell of opposition for this project.

The CPCA resolution demanding that the developer demonstate its financing before breaking ground is telling. Clearly their strategy (despite the Zoning Commission suggestion to consolidate) is to have all of these separate "neighborhood groups" ground out these proceedings in the hopes that the economy is so bad that this development never gets off the ground.

For that, the construction workers who would benefit, the employees of the new commercial outlets and the nearby residents who want a vibrant streetscape would all have these very few people to thank.
