[quote=Anonymous]Good to see so many good rebuttals to the “up zoning will fix everything” crowd. More condos makes a city livelier for sure, which is a good thing. But the notion that it fixes affordability problems, or equity problems, or school problems is hipster fever dream stuff. The future in dc is office conversions to residential. Already the two big office buildings near the Washington Hilton are being converted (a big boost for DuPont street life) and there are a handful of others downtown that are in the works. Just a lot of properties that don’t work anymore and owners willing to bite the bullet for residential conversions And the buildout on H street and Noma and navy yard will continue. Plus here and there in friendship heights Would be nice if more of these building were truly big enough for families [/quote]
