Controversy Surrounds Proposed Potomac Yard Arena's Impact on Communities and Home Values

A new petition on Change.org is gaining traction, opposing the construction of a new Washington Wizards/Capitals arena at Potomac Yard. Critics argue that the $2 billion proposal will worsen traffic, decrease property values, disrupt communities, and negatively impact the environment. The petition calls on state and local officials to halt the initiative, stating that it will undermine the area's integrity and value. A recent poll showed divided opinions on the project, with concerns also raised about transportation capacity at the nearby Potomac Yard Metro station.
