Stop the vandalism of our city: Hains Point, stupid failure arch, etc.

@dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social lawsuit to block the proposed arch is good news in a difficult environment.

We must use whatever tools we have to protect the District.

In that same spirit, I was also glad to stand at Hains Point last weekend to protect East Potomac Park.

The administration likes to claim that Hains Point is only lightly used, but how much of that is because NPS let it rot?

How much busier would it be if there was still a café down there?
The vanished teahouse at Hains Point
At Hains Point, the tip of the teardrop-shaped island known as East Potomac Park, there used to stand a small but stately, white-columned teahouse, facing resolutely south toward the open water of the...

Used to be at Hains Point which is part of the park/golf course that the Rump is now ATTEMPTING to destroy. His vanity projects must all END. NOW.

And save Hains Point for the people! And stop the ridiculous vanity arch!

No one outside of DC cares about Hains Point. I care, but I live here.

According to Karine Hains, Ivan Demidov is no longer wearing a walking boot 🙏
Just saw Demidov walk by with no walking boot, he had stick and gloves, looked like he finished a session of ball hockey #GoHabsGo

Huge crowd at Hains Point / East Potomac National Park this morning to tell Trump this is the people's park! The news focuses on the golf course, but it's much more, and Trump wants to spend our money to steal our park & make it a private playground for billionaires. NOPE #DC #NationalParks

Like, this is not the right framing. Hains Point is going to be underwater within our lifetimes if nothing is done. NPS has dragged its feet because the cost is going to hurt no matter what.
This is absolute insanity.

Just the seawall for Trump’s golf course will cost $304.5 million and take 2½ to 3½ years to complete. Yet they’ve conveniently omitted the total redevelopment cost, where the money will come from, and the project timeline.

Hains point was refuge during the pandemic. I biked there most days and relaxed in nature. The thought of it’s closing is painful.

Pretty spineless of @mayorbowser.dc.gov to call Trump's proposal to eliminate the Ohio Drive loop on Hains Point — one of the most popular cycling routes in the country — simply "troublesome."

Thank you. You and I know it as Hains Point. Last time I checked recent maps, I noticed ‘Hains Point’ had been removed as a label.

These are from Hains Point in 2010 in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom...and one of the traffic jam I sat in for 45 minutes.

Hains Point in East Potomac Park was created in 1897 by Congress "to be forever held and used as a park for the recreation and pleasure of the people."

I drove over to Hains Point this evening on the off chance this is the last time I ever get down there. The golf course at East Potomac was packed.

Survived a lap of Hains Point on my bike despite taking heavy incoming from golf balls soaring through the gaping holes in the driving range's "protective" netting at high speed.

replacing them with a single 18-hole championship course around Hains Point. The plan would also remove activities presently offered at the park, including cycling, walking, running, fishing and picnicking.

Officially registered for the 2027 Cherry Blossom 10 miler! (I ran my 10th race last year, giving me skip-the-lottery guaranteed admission forever more)

Does this give me standing as a litigant to sue for them tearing up Hains Point (on which the race route runs)?
