NP. I wouldn’t debate with this guy. There are poster/s here who are just dedicated to being “anti-GGW” as an identity. They are uniformly useless and have nothing to add. They’ll do stupid derailing sh*t like argue incessantly that because they lived in a group house in 1992 that therefore DC already has an adequate housing policy. They will totally distract from discussion. [/quote]

Yes.  I suspect they either live outside DC or they are part of the conservative hate-DC propaganda machine.  Maybe they're one of the mediocrities who comes to the DC area to work at ideological chopshops like Heritage.

We know that Frank Luntz taught conservatives to denigrate DC for political advantage.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of this was astroturfing.

It's just total denial of reality to deny that DC needs new housing policy.[/quote]
It’s possible that people just vehemently disagree with you. I suspect you spend a lot of time cloistered talking to the same people, which is how you have so many blind spots in your ideology. You also exhibit a high degree of troll like behavior and project a lot of anger. [/quote]

It's the anti-DC ideology that really does it – that's rarely seen in DC in any circles except the resentful unhappy conservative circles. And you seem a little unhinged about it.  Are you being fed lies through the Murdoch WSJ?  It's ok to read real news and talk to smart people, you know.  The Koch dollars that pay your friends aren't real; they prop up people who couldn't hack it in the real world.

The real key disagreement in DC right now about housing is not about recognizing there's a crisis.  That's widely agreed on.  (Which is why it's so odd to hear "people" here denying that reality.)

The disagreement is how to make politicians do something about it.  It's just a political hurdle.  SFH homeowners don't want upzoning, but it's really the first thing that needs to be done.
