[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because popups and popbacks make neighborhoods ugly?

Because people with kids need single family homes?

[b]How does extremely expensive SFH due to restricted supply help families?[/b]

Because increasing density is more likely to drive housing prices up than down?

[b]That's literally the opposite of what will happen.  Supply and demand.  [/b]

Because DC is already one of the most densely populated cities in North America?

Because we don't have the infrastructure for it? (Funny how the people who want upzoning say we can't accommodate any more people's cars)

Because no one has a right to housing in a fancy neighborhood?

[b]And yet you have the right to tell people what to do with their private property?[/b]

Because everyone can't live in the same place?

Because it reduces the quality of life for people who are already there?

Because in the vast majority of DC, upzoning is synonymous with gentrification?

[b]Huh? So exclusive, expensive SFH for the rich is good, but apartment buildings are bad "gentrification"?[/b]

Have you been to New York City? It kind of sucks.

[b]You're wrong. [/b]
