[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the mayor honestly believe that these folks are coming back? They left to go start families in the suburbs and mid-sized metros. Building 15k micro apartments downtown is not going to convince these people to return. Three bedroom apartments on Capitol Hill might, but they just spent the last decade building nothing but studios and 1-BDs. Just goes to show the risks of designing your economic strategy around a demographic cohort. When the trends turn against you, your economy is in serious trouble.

This may be true but the reason to be really concerned is how unrealistic all of this is. Bowser was lucky to serve as mayor during a strong economic environment that she had nothing to do with. Seems that she thinks all of this is easy. How does she think DCs population is going to growth by 10,000 per year for the next 5 years? That would be record breaking population growth when population growth has been decelerating since 2015. How people can have faith in Bowser I don’t know. [/quote]
