When the Nats came to town, everyone in the neighborhood walked to games there without any complaints. There’s plenty of room for housing, development, mixed use, etc.

(https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-announces-full-committee-markup/ <https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-announces-full-committee-markup/>), announced by Chairman James Comer (R-KY). The bill would 'transfer the administrative jurisdiction' of RFK from the Secretary of the Interior to the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), allowing the city to revitalize the site. The bill would extend D.C.'s lease with the federal government for 99 years and would allow the city to pursue mixed-use development on the RFK site, which could include commercial properties, housing projects, or even a stadium.
