I think you're making a strategic retreat from your earlier assertion that there have been all sorts of policies explicitly targeting "affluent people". I can think of lots of initiatives that might appeal to households making from $50k and up (the much ruminated bike lanes & dog parks). Still wracking my brain for all these policies that DC has implemented with an eye toward pleasing "affluent people". I'm starting to think your construct "affluent people" may simply translate to "anyone above the poverty line".[/quote]

One example of government policies aimed at the affluent is the development of Penn Quarter. This was a particular favorite of Tony Williams who may have had himself in mind when he got the idea. Currently condos in Penn Quarter for over half a million for two bedrooms. Zillow lists two condos for just about $300,000 (strangely not telling how many bedrooms, so I'm assuming it's one). Several are close to a million or even more. I think you'll agree that you have to be affluent to afford these prices.
