Thanks to AB for sending: “Lots of cranes in the air down at the Wharf development next to the
fish market.”
The future:
SW Waterfront
A reader reports:
“The Waterfront metro has had two of its six gates out of service for well over a month, with no sign of repairs any time soon.
One gate broke months ago. The other followed about a month ago. Of the working 4 gates, one is a very very slow handicapped gate. So in rush hour, most commuters have to line up to use the one standard working gate.
Does WMATA have any plan to fix the broken gates? Or is this just the new normal for Waterfront?”

Realtor seems to think that based on comps, I could only get up to $1750. Initially wanted to sell, then I looked into renting and when I saw the estimates, rethinking that I should sell for around 300K (this is just a guess of mine).
How much would you rent it for and would you buy it at the above price?”
