? of the Day: "Can east of the river prosper while there are 'better' options west of the river?"
Admittedly this is an overly broad question but I would love to hear reader thoughts. As long as there is land to be developed west of the river can we really expect east of the river to have a legitimate shot at quality development, housing, retail, and jobs? Can Ward 8 really expect no other investment other than job training programs, low-income rental housing and social service providers?
As someone who works toward true economic development east of the river even I have to ask myself, "Are we fighting a losing battle?"
Does every new west of the river development project and funding opportunity put east of the river farther behind D.C.'s economic development plan?
