[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People who buy in the outer suburbs are looking for a particular type of house with a nice fenced yard for kids and a dog, at a more reasonable price than closer in. It is not the same demographic as would rent or buy in some upscale flat above a CAVA in DC. The notion that DC needs to be massively upznned to prevent suburban sprawl is a red herring.[/quote] There are townhouses and apts in the outer suburbs. And there are definitely people who compare a bigger house in the outer suburbs to staying in a TH or even apt in DC - you see that in the RE forum often. Regional real estate markets are connected. The less there is in transit oriented development in DC and close in suburbs with good transit, the less development there will be at the edge. People have to live somewhere. (also more development near transit in DC makes locations in the suburbs near transit more desirable relative to places away from transit)[/quote]
