[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So move to loudon county if you don’t want density.[b] The fact is, housing is unaffordable because there isn’t enough of it.[/b] [/quote] This is just wrong. Increasing density drives housing prices up, not down. If you have a bunch of people living in a small area, then businesses will want to be there too because they want foot traffic. As bars and grocery stores and restaurants and boutiques move in, then more people want to live there too. So more condos and apartments are built. That brings even more bars and grocery stores and restaurants to the area, which makes even more people want to live there, and housing prices go to the moon. This has happened over and over and over in neighborhoods across DC. Look at Navy Yard (before that 14th Street, and before that U Street, and before that...)[/quote]
