Harry Jaffe: D.C. development booming despite political decline

Published



Used to be I had three ways out of Swann, my little one-lane, one-way street north of Logan Circle. One could continue straight to 14th, or take an alley to S Street, or another alley to T. No more. There’s a huge condominium rising on the corner of 14th and Swann. First they closed off my exit to 14th Street. Now they are blocking the alley to S Street, behind the new building. When the auto mechanics are working on a car in the alley to T Street, we’re kind of trapped.

I fear a blaze when fire trucks need to hit Swann.
