Maybe that’s why people moved near there.

Good luck collecting enough tax revenue to cover DCs expenses. The super rich people living in NW DC will move out if you start upzoning this area. Many of these people have no interest in living in a high density neighborhood and they will not tolerate the dramatic changes to their community. The reality of it is the affluent households that pay a disproportionate share of income tax revenues people do not want to want giant apartment building in their neighborhoods and they will leave. The residents that replace them will not come close to making up for this lost tax revenue.

Is there a big need for that in CC?

There's a big need for it everywhere. Why should CC be exempt?

I dunno. Seems like the only people who are really into increasing density are white people who are *desperate* to move into overwhelmingly white neighborhoods. There's already lots of affordable housing in majority black neighborhoods that they like to pretend doesn't exist.

You nailed it. Overall, Montgomery County is hugely diverse. The YIMBY groups are overwhelmingly white, far more so than the general population. I guess that they just know better than the POC that live in SFH neighborhoods.

Why is there a need for it “everywhere?”

Seems like there are plenty of areas to increase density where it would be less difficult and more welcome. Why waste all of that time and money? Is it just punitive?

They are very picky about neighborhoods they want to move into, cheaply--they think that building tons of 1 bedroom condo will allow them to live in the nicest parts of DC for 1500 a month. Not going to happen.

A SFH right on the corner was replaced by a building with eight condos like three years ago, and numerous other SFHs just up the street have been torn down and rebuilt as condos. There's a giant apartment building literally right across the street from it, right where the L2 southbound stop is. How in the world is the intersection of Connecticut and Nebraska "low density"?

Good lord, you GGWash mouth-breathers are detached from reality.

Like the poster a while back who wanted 200 townhouses to be built in FH. But affordable for their MC kids. Not like the new $2m ones in Bethesda. Well ya like those but for under $1m. Genius.

It will if you can the oldsters out lf their SFHs and into the condos. That's the next step.

If you're a parent, you know most of the schools in DC are garbage. If there is *any* new housing created in areas with good schools, the upzoning dorks will be outbid, easily, by parents who will do anything to enroll their kids in halfway decent schools. People will rent one bedroom condos and pretend that's their home, even while they live elsewhere, just to get their kids in.

And then all the SFH people there will move or go private. Already see it in the JKLM “jewels” of upper NW.

Well, I bet if you replace one SFH with say two, two unit duplexes (so 4 in total) you likely will generate more overall tax revenue than that one SFH household.

The reality is the super rich live in Georgetown, Mass Heights, etc. CC DC is a wealthy but not super rich area.

That’s not true. It’s about creating housing in areas close to transit and amenities. Like, there aren’t even any 3 bedroom apartments basically anywhere in the entire DC proper. And urbanists are also excited about density being created near any metro stop.

There is housing that is near transit and the "amenities" (amenities means I want to live near the people who make more than me, not near the people who make what I make), just live in it. Any new housing in these places with "amenities" isn't going to be anything that people begging for it can afford. The condos are not going to be 300k just becuse they are small and/or condos. There isn't a hack to getting to live in a desirable neighborhood w/o paying a lot for it.
