Exactly! Just posted a few minutes ago what DC Planning and urban design folks know- Developers essentially got their way and built maximum profit condos/apts without thought to amenities. Even the BID was stacked with former real estate developers.

DC government didn't plan well and now they are trying to build new developments with long term objectives in mind.

Definitely not a family neighborhood. Can't even think of one playground or nice park to take a kid or dog or just have a picnic. Manhattan has better parks than MVT.
