[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My point isn’t the increment, it’s the total rate, in what is now more than ever a competitive national market for attractiveness, due to lack of SALT deduction combined with the pandemic “revealing” that knowledge work can be done excellently from anywhere. The stated aim is to end homelessness. The DC Council could attack that directly by making it much much easier to build more housing in DC, and much much harder for NIMBYs to block it. I live in a nice, leafy Ward 3 neighborhood, and I’d welcome a substantial densification of housing here. But, no, we live in a city where, e.g., GDS tries to build a multi-story mixed use (mostly residential building!) where Marten’s used to be, highly walkable to Metro and on major bus lines, and it gets blocked by NIMBYs… for reasons. So, yeah, let’s just raise taxes? Does anyone think this will help homelessness? T[/quote]
