A pair of bills would have required local zoning codes to allow multifamily and mixed-use residential development by right across broad swaths of commercially zoned land. Supporters said the approach could convert underused strip malls, parking lots and office corridors into thousands of apartments without case-by-case rezonings.

She described the move as part of a "broader strategy to strengthen GW's long-term financial health and to invest more deeply in our academic mission and community."

Sunnyside Yard has all the ingredients that Trump could wish for. The project involves building a massive platform over the sunken tracks, which will require substantial federal funding. Amtrak owns much of the railyard, and the government effectively owns Amtrak, which means the president can largely set the terms.

Never heard of "the Bridge District"? The newly christened neighborhood is a development in Anacostia near the eastern foot of the Frederick Douglass Bridge, and this new taproom from Atlas Brew Works, where you can sip microbrews and snack on pizza and wings, is among its first occupants.

The president announced on Truth Social that the recently renamed center will close on July 4 for two full years of renovations. No better way to celebrate 250 years as a nation than by shutting down our center for the performing arts! Most high schools, given the opportunity to shut down their performing-arts departments, don't view it as an exciting, patriotic celebration, and prefer to have a bake sale.

Approximately 243 million gallons of wastewater has overflowed from the pipe that collapsed on January 19 in Montgomery County, Md., according to a release from DC Water. That translates into 368 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of sewage.

Once a nice-to-have niche urban design concept, TOD has become an essential part of many urban neighborhoods. It has helped address the shortage of housing by enabling the development of higher-density residential communities near transit stations. It has helped revitalize countless once-deteriorating or static urban enclaves near transit hubs by activating sidewalks near the developments. And it has spurred walking and transit use, enabling residents of TODs to reduce or eliminate automobile dependency.

In 1840, when Francis Preston Blair and his daughter came across a "mica-flecked" spring near present-day Georgia Avenue, he fell in love with the land and built a summer home there-calling it "Silver Spring" after the minerals he spied in the water. The area boomed as a major retail center after World War II, suffered through a period of decline in the '80s when prominent businesses including Hecht's department store relocated, and enjoyed a rebirth in the aughts after construction of a downtown mall, now called Ellsworth Place.

The 30,000-square-foot property has housed numerous notable individuals over the centuries, including Albert Clemens, the nephew of author Mark Twain, and architect Edmund Dreyfuss, who eventually passed the home down to his son, sculptor John Dreyfuss.
