It would be 60 units without any parking. For rerference, Marilyn Simon is an obnoxious NIMBY.

I can understand the consternation about the Santa Monica project; this
is car-happy Southern California after all...its going to take a while for everyone to get it. But the reaction to the Tenleytown project confuses me. DC is an inherently walkable place. Tons of residents get by without cars- even in upper NW (ahem...American University students anyone?)
I guess NIMBYs will be NIMBYs.
