From DCist:

“Aristotle Theresa, the man behind a gentrification lawsuit against D.C., as well as several other lawsuits to halt planned developments in gentrifying neighborhoods, is taking on another project.

“He filed a lawsuit in June with the D.C. Court of Appeals contesting the Zoning Commission’s approval of a new project at Poplar Point. The project, which is being branded as “Columbian Quarter,” would put mixed-use apartment and retail space on one of the city’s largest swaths of underdeveloped land, right on the waterfront east of the Anacostia river.”
