[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish someone could give me a coherent explanation of how these affordable housing ideas are supposed to work. There seems to be blind faith that adding housing units will lower prices, but that just seems wrong. There's five million people in the DC suburbs. If you add 30,000 units in DC, that will immediately be soaked up by people in, say, Arlington looking for better commutes. That in turn will open up places for people to move to Arlington from, say, Manassas who are looking for the same thing. That will open up places in Manassas for people who live in, say, Front Royal. The end result is lower housing prices in Front Royal. Ok, that's great for people who live there but why should DC residents have to sacrifice so that people in Front Royal enjoy slightly lower housing prices?[/quote] THIS.[/quote] Eh...I’m still looking forward to seeing the end of class segregation in Ward 3.[/quote]
