		<description>Uhhhhh...back in the bad ol&#039; days, AM was a low-rent area; Wilson Reynolds moved into the Champlain while he was working his way through grad school and his Pakistani and Central American &quot;busboy&quot; colleagues literally lived across the street. AM was cheap and on the funky side--not at all the hot nightlife destination or cool address it has since become. Wilson loved his neighbors and his neighborhood from that time to this. He has worked for many years to preserve the neighborhood&#039;s character and improve the lives of its residents. He didn&#039;t buy in for the view and he&#039;s sure not a Johnny Come Lately who&#039;s trying to raise the drawbridge. He sees a developer trying to homogenize the joint into a refuge for millionaires and he thinks maybe knocking down every row house in sight does a disservice to DC generally and AM specifically. Wilson has cred.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t really understand the point of this article. 

I do grasp that Wilson Reynolds feels that the fact he bought into a building that was built &amp; subsequently blocked the views of some other AM resident is irrelevant. I guess his purchase &amp; his developer are somehow excempt from the boring criticism that is presented here by all involved. As a resident of AM I have followed a bit of the history of both Mr Reynolds &amp; Mr Weaver&#039;s criticism (ongoing harrasment) of Mr Lee. 

As anyone who knows has seen, the ANC is not the power they think they are in their own minds... and perhaps this is where the harrasment stems from. Perhaps Mr Weaver &amp; Mr Wilson don&#039;t like that the positions they hold have no power and that Mr Lee uncovered that? 

I also beleive that the price per square foot that they say is average, is exactly that, AVERAGE. I have toured the building and many others on the street... I would vote that the Erie is above average &amp; could justify an above average price. I paid well above $500 per square foot in AM, $610 in 06, and my property has apreciated nicely. The Erie has more character than the poorly designed building that Mr Reynolds currently resides. I mean, the units I have been in at Mr Reynolds building have some of the poorest design and represent a failed attempt by a coop to merge multiple units. 

I think that the only reason Mr Reynolds building is truly concerned is because the singe redeeming quality of his building is the few units with a view, and soon it will be gone... so they will have nothing.

I am guessing that the reason Mr Lee would be less than interested in working with anyone is becasue of articles like this, and people like Mr Reynolds. Why bother, I say... clearly they don&#039;t feel like playing nice, so why should he?? Wake up folks, participate &amp; deliver an article AFTER the developer REFUSES to work with you... not while it is in design &amp; the opportunity is still there!</description>
