In articles covering litigation over a housing project, the Washington Post and The Wash spoke with Real Estate Litigation partner Scott Morrison about redeveloping a former George Washington University dormitory called the Aston. Scott discussed concerns his clients have that the facility, slated to become a homeless shelter, runs afoul of the District's zoning laws, could negatively impact public safety and hurt the neighborhood economy.
"No one in our group is against homeless shelters. The problem is where this particular one is located, in one of the most economically viable areas of the entire city," Scott said.
