Anyone who lives there would likely be living car free, so new neighbors at the intersection of Albemarle and Wisconsin would not add to the existing car traffic in the area.

Based on?

The more affordable the housing is, the less likely residents are to have cars. If the city partnered with DCHA on public housing or a nonprofit to do permanent supportive housing there probably wouldn't be that many residents who needed parking: it's hard to have a car if your only income is $336 a month for 2 people on TANF, or $798 a month on SSI.

Then access to Whole Foods, the only grocery walkable there, is not going to do them much good.
