[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP, I think my point (and possibly the OP's) is that isn't it interesting that all the historic districts in this city contain rowhouses and that now there are no more rowhouses being constructed, but instead only 1/2 br condos?[/quote] This is because between WWII and about 10 years ago, DC was literally hemorrhaging residents, particularly those of the family variety. There is no need to construct new row houses because there are tons already there. Plus, if they were to build new ones in the city center, they would cost $2+ million. I was on 12th street the other day and a row house cost $1.8 million. When I lived in Dupont Circle in 1994, you could pick up a gorgeous prime location row house for $400,000. [/quote]
