Demolition Special Breaks Ground
delayed since 2008



Proposed 1325 South Capitol Street

Obstructing a portion of the west side of the aborted Extending the Legacy never officially named 'South Capitol Mall'

Can always be obtained by Constitutional eminent domain for public use.

BE WARNED- do not get sentimental for this unneeded construction project

Today marks the ground breaking for Camden Properties latest project on South Capitol Street. The WDG design (pictured) was put on hold back in 2008, but the prime spot right across from Nats Park is finally ready to move some dirt! The 244 unit apartment building will be on top of some prime retail space and should be ready by 2013. Update: Rain delay for ceremony, should be rescheduled this week.

Let's count the days for this building's demolition, along with the disgusting political order that had such happen without public debate (with freemasonry apparantly falling flat on its face -  now!).

Let's have the South Capitol Mall!

UPDATE- July 6, 2011: Censorship at "D.C. Metrocentric"

It appears that “D.C. Metrocentric” practices censorship to not alert potential buyers of the boondoggle nature of various real estate projects.

By censoring information, D.C. Metrocentric establishes itself less as an objective news source, and more as a cheerleader for projects that should not be approved.

Demolition to Begin for New Demolition Special:
The Continuing Desecration of the Extending the Legacy Plan

Future -- post 2012 -- Eminent Domain for Public Use?

Land to be cleared for condo project -- 1345 South Capitol Street SW -- which itself conflicts with U.S. National Capital Planning Commission's South Capitol Mall seen on the cover of Extending the Legacy: Planning America's Capital for the 21st Century, and hence will require eminent domain for public use.

Anyone moving into this structure should know of this conflict, and thus understand that it will need to be removed, via eminent domain for public use.

Of course this could be avoided simply if the project were shifted a few hundred feet west.

Then it would ultimately be worth more money because it would be fronting the grand monumental promenade of the South Capitol Mall.

As of this writing, that could still be done.
