When you’re walking around Rome in the summer it’s nice to find the shady part of the street. In DC, we impose massive economic costs in the form of setback and height regulations for the purpose of making sure that streets don’t get too much shade. — PolitiTweet.org

1. DC Council is partially composed of at-large members which dilutes the power of local vetoes. 2. So much government/nonprofit stuff in the CBD that doesn’t generate tax revenue, political class puts more value on the revenue from residential development. — PolitiTweet.org
