[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People leave when their kids aren't allowed to go to school. [/quote]

The largest recipients of those people are in neighboring area like Bethesda, where schools were also closed.[/quote]
People don't like "density". They want space and value for money.[/quote]

Then why are tiny places in the city far more expensive than larger houses in the surrounding suburbs? [/quote]

What people seem to want are single family houses in the District and close-in suburbs, not necessarily lots more high-end little glass box flats above national fast-casual chains and other mixed-use.[/quote]

Again, what "people want" is not all the same. Lots of people want small condos that are close to bars, restaurants, and their offices. The DC condo market slowed during the pandemic, but 1-2 bedroom condos in highly desirable areas are still going for $400-$600k.

Maybe you don't want that, and that's fine. But it's the reality of what people are willing to pay. If they weren't desirable, the prices would adjust accordingly. [/quote]

What are the “highly desirable” areas where people are willing to pay such prices for small condos?[/quote]
