Here you go:

Here's some info from the Washington Post. The first link is a story, and the second link in a nice graphic that shows info on each lot as you roll your pointer over it. If it asks to register, try "annoying" and "annoying".

In the end, they will get what the city offers them.

Thank you. Only in WaPo would they find the owner of an art studio as a typical resident. Here's the relevent info.

A year ago, Patricia Ghiglino's two-story, yellow-brick art studio in a drab, largely industrial neighborhood in Southeast Washington was worth $654,000 to the District government, which collected taxes based on that assessment.

This month, the city, ... offered Ghiglino nearly $1.8 million for the property. Her response? "We're not accepting this offer. No way," she said. "We're definitely going to court."

...

"We want enough money to buy back in the same stadium district," Ghiglino said. The city is offering her about $188 per square foot, she said, but "north of my property, things are selling for $350 to $400 per square foot. The city's offer is not fair compensation."

Bottom line: She's holding out for more money. Well, that's her right. But the city can also say, "Fine, your property is now assessed at 1.8 million dollars and we expect the tax payment at the end of the quarter."
