[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc does not need anymore subsidized housing at all. It already has one of highest rates of subsidized housing anywhere in the country. More than any other state on a per capita basis in the entire US. It needs more market rate housing to balance out the budget and backfill the giant financial hole from downsizing federal government employment levels. [/quote]

Any jobs for these new homeowners or are you just interested in the independently wealthy that don't need jobs?[/quote]

There is plenty of market rate housing that is affordable to people that are employed. DC needs more balanced growth in order to support the funding required for the generous social services it currently provides. Continuing to require and approve such a large number of housing units for very low income people is a recipe for disaster if you want a functional government. Without balanced growth by income group this whole funding mechanism will collapse and the quality of public services will deteriorate. [/quote]
