[quote=Anonymous]Increasing density -- i.e. condos and apartments -- is the engine of gentrification. You need a critical mass of people to live in an area before grocery stores and bars and stores and restaurants will move in. But once they do, it's off to the races. The neighborhood is suddenly "hot" and everyone wants to live there and prices skyrocket. If you live in DC long enough, you see this happening over and over and over. This idea that increasing density will cut housing prices defies the entire history of development in DC. [/quote]
