[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GGW published an article last week talking about how many units we could create if we replaced every single family home with a five story apartment building.  I think it's pretty clear that they want to get rid of single family zoning.[/quote]

Who's going to live in these places? The reason why vouchers are thriving on Connecticut Ave is because they can't find enough paying occupants. [/quote]

That is not true.  The reason why vouchers are thriving is because vouchers actually pay higher than market rents...[b]as much as 20% higher[/b].  The program needs to be completely revamped because of the perverse incentives from the program.[/quote]

This is no longer true, and it's against federal law for vouchers to pay higher than market rate. DC stopped paying higher than market rate after WaPo exposed the practice.[/quote]

OK...but that literally only happened in like the last 3-6 months.  The point is that most people think that a voucher rate is below (most probably think well below) market rates, which has not been the case in DC.[/quote]
