#Virginia sues to block #Trump from building his idiotic #arch
#Arlington County’s all #Democratic board argues that the admin bypassed a key review process in their push to begin work on the 250-foot-tall arch.
The lawsuit argues that the Trump admin failed to adequately evaluate potential #environmental impacts of the project as required by federal #law.

The city was humanity's greatest wager: that density creates opportunity, that proximity generates possibility, that strangers pressed together build something larger than themselves.
For most of history, that bet paid off. Then we systematically broke it.

Approval for #Trump’s massive #EastWing #ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings & land in the nation’s capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

The remarkable speed with which the multi-million-dollar project has progressed has underscored an emboldened Trump’s personal interest in unveiling a finished #ballroom before the end of his second term, part of a broader effort to remake the White House & Washington to suit his style & taste.

Approval by the NCPC on Thursday would mean that any further attempt to halt construction would require intervention from the courts.
The most serious legal challenge comes from a case brought by historical preservationists, who argue that #Trump needs congressional approval to carry out the construction. And there are already questions about the validity of Thursday’s NCPC vote.
#law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture
That expected approval would come weeks after the Commission of Fine Arts, another federal agency where #Trump installed political allies, voted to approve the design & days after a federal judge rejected the nation’s top #historic #preservation group’s attempt to block it.
Since returning to office, #Trump has stacked the 12-member commission with loyalists, & earlier this week, the NCPC executive director published a recommendation to “(approve) the preliminary & final site & building plans for the East Wing Modernization Project located on the grounds of the White House,” all but guaranteeing that the project will move forward.
#law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture
Objections centering around the “Trumpification” of the White House & fears that the #ballroom represented “authoritarian self-aggrandizement” were a common theme among the tens of thousands of comments urging the commission to reject the plan. The much smaller number of comments in support of the construction cited the need for a larger & more modern space as reason for backing it.

The National Capital Planning Commission is expected to take a final vote today to approve plans for the #ballroom, marking the latest clearance for the project in a process that has been on a fast track since #Trump suddenly demolished the #EastWing last October. Approval by the NCPC would mean that any further attempt to halt construction would require intervention from the #courts.
