D: Funny, it doesn't seem to me that people are actually "flat disagreeing." They just start out flat disagreeing and then end up agreeing.

Most of the comments seem to say, "I can't believe you would talk about changing the Washington Monument area! It's perfect just as it is! Except it could use a few more trees and maybe a fountain and some seating near the edges."

I think the disconnect comes from the formal garden I posted from the McMillan Plan. I can see that most people don't like that idea. However, this competition isn't the "Design a Formal Garden For the Washington Monument Contest." It's about improving the grounds.

If improving it just means a few shady walks at the very edges while keeping the main fields open for kites and softball, okay. I saw a lot of ideas for improvement in the comment thread, just often preceded by protestations that there could be no possible improvement.
