Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Connecticut Avenue, by the National Zoo
After much debate and study, the District has fully revised its zoning codes for the first time since 1958. The term “zoning” puts many to sleep, but in fact these rules address hot-button issues: adding floors to row-houses, renting out English basements, and parking minimums for new apartment buildings. We consider how the regulations will affect local neighborhoods, and how they compare to nearby jurisdictions.
