[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mayor trumpets “inclusionary zoning” but the reality is that after 10 years of IZ, the percentage of Iz I’m qualifying projects is less than 8 percent. DC can’t build its way to affordable housing through IZ as a small part of market rate housing. The only times when I’ve observed that “trickle down” really works is when my dog finds a hydrant.[/quote] And what is your proposed alternative, keeping in mind that the laws of supply and demand still apply?[/quote] DC need to build affordable housing in DC-owned properties. There are lots of DC properties in the District. But folks, don’t kid yourselves. The mayor’s profound changes to the comp plan aren’t really about more affordable housing. They’re about creating more windfall profit opportunities to build more luxury housing. That’s why the office of planning basically outsourced the drafting to the mayor’s developer backers and their zoning law firms.[/quote]
