[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Issues like this are dangerous when presented to a city council comprised entirely of “community activists.”  I’m not sure there is a single day of small business experience between the 13 of them.

Whether this is a good solution or not, we still have a massive affordability gap. For instance the average new house buyer just ticked up to 40, where it was 28 not that long ago. Keep ignoring these outcomes and we'll keep getting someone who will try to fix them, even if they end up failing. [/quote]

Build more housing, not less. This has worked in other cities. We could try it here. [/quote]

Did you move here yesterday? DC has been doing this for a very long time. The number of housing units has grown more than 20 percent over the past decade or so. Housing is expensive in part because incomes are very high here. Even cops and elementary school teachers make six figures. [/quote]

Build more. The demand is still outstripping supply. When apartment buildings start competing for renters, things will improve. [/quote]

Up in CC DC, all the buildings have vacancy and offer months of free rent.  However, the buildings are mostly pretty dated with few amenities and it isn’t the liveliest neighborhood for young people.

So, someone is willing to let you live for free in a cardboard box. Surprised that there are no takers.[/quote]

Not a cardboard box. Too many young people today are spoiled and expect too much without working for it.[/quote]
