[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what happens if Upper Ward 3 is up zoned? You might see a number of people move out and sell to a developer that’d put three to five TH on a SFH lot, with a small common backyard with a playground. I guess those would run you $600-$800k? But you’d see a lot more 1BR condos. That’s all new development means in DC: another 3-10 story condo building with 1BR and 2BR condos. Each of the 20-200 condos goes for $400k and up. [/quote] Yeah, I live in a Ward 3 duplex (1,600 sq ft), which cost $965K three years ago. 2-3 bedroom condos are running in the 700s. It’s an expensive area. The townhomes are also in the 900s. This isn’t affordable housing! It’s more like eliminating SFH will result in more housing for UMC people that doesn’t cost $1.7M. I don’t disagree with this, but it’s not going to make Ward 3 affordable for working families.[/quote]
