Ill do you one better: How about we knock down not only SFHs but also all one-, two- and three-bedroom condos. Replace them all with studios. No one in the District gets more than 450 square feet. Housing would be way cheaper then. [/quote]

[b]Few if anyone is suggesting that all SFHs be knocked down.[/b] Just that people who own them be ALLOWED to redevelop them with more density.  Why do people like you keep changing "We should allow X" into "We must mandate X for everyone"?   Straw man?[/quote]

[b]You obviously have never been to the GGW comments section, because there are a whole lot of people there who want to see this happen.[/b]

Except for David Alpert's single-family home, which sits two blocks from the Metro. A terrible use for that land. He gets to keep his SFH because reasons.[/quote]

Could you please link to 3 comments on GGW where people are sincerely advocating that all single-family houses must be knocked down?[/quote]
