[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of "downtown" Arlington; Cathedral Commons, the Wharf, Navy Yard, 14th Street, H Street, U Street, Bethesda Row, Pentagon Row, I could go on, just in the DC area.[/quote] Haven’t all those places gotten MORE expensive?[/quote] When I was in grad school at Georgetown, I rented a studio in Arlington near Ft. Myer at $270 a month. The building was torn down about 10 years ago and now rents are about $2,500 a month for a one bedroom. Laughs on the building owner because Arlington County is about to put several affordable housing buildings across the street. They talk about neighborhoods changing -- from bad to good and now back to bad thanks to YIMBY[/quote] So you think the property owner should still be providing a $270/mo rent in an area with million dollar + condos? I thought we lived in a capitalist society and you want communism.[/quote]
