I am a homeowner in Ground Zero of the proposed moratorium and live smack between Ms Sterling and the U Street Dirt guys who are driving this. Just so it is clear, they do NOT speak for me or anyone else who is not on their membership roll, and this includes the overwhelming majority of their neighborhood. For these folks to be pushing for a moratorium extending well beyond their boundaries is just outrageous. If they want a 600 foot moratorium that covers their own ‘hood, fine, bring that fight on, but 1800 feet? All the way to Belmont in the north and 8th to the east? Seriously? Those neighborhoods are still begging for development. Fortunately the U Street Neighborhood Association has a broader and more thoughtful vision than this fringe group. I’m embarrassed to have them as neighbors.

The formation of the Dupont-Shaw Citizens Association is also in direct response to the currently proposed reforms of the ABC regulations that would eliminate the “gang of five” ability to protest licenses, and require a duly incorporated association or ANC to file. By limiting their boundaries and hyper focusing their agenda to their pre-existing priorities they pretty much guarantee that nobody else from the community will either have a say or even want to attend one of their meetings.
