Those areas are expensive and nice for a reason. Plenty of cheap housing 45 min outside DC.

Either buy there or make more money to afford closer in. Stop assaulting those areas in the name of "equity"[/quote]

Nor do people have a right to detached homes. Or to demand that their neighbors have detached homes.[/quote]

So what kind of close-in high-density housing are you interested in? A $1 million townhouse? Or a $350K 600sq ft condo? Because that will be the pricing for, say, Silver Spring 20910. Much, much higher in Bethesda 20814 of course.[/quote]

I'm not sure where you're going with that.  A few million dollar townhomes is better than a single $2-3 million detached home. More housing at lower prices for more people.

And yes, in the long-term, that's the choice. New construction will always come in at the top of the market, but things level out over time. And once they level out, townhomes are significantly less expensive than detached homes in the same area of similar size and age.[/quote]
