[quote=Anonymous]The main places where GGW is endorsing increased density is in places that will not be gentrified because they're already wealthy -- as a PP noted, places like Tenleytown, Friendship Heights, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, etc. -- places that are near Metro but are zoned mostly for detached single-family homes. That isn't going to push anyone out or make any neighborhoods "hot" or too expensive; they're already expensive. In cases like that, adding density would probably bring down the average cost of housing in the neighborhood, because there would be smaller units available, not just $1 million detached houses. They do also advocate for in-fill development in neighborhoods that are already zoned for higher density, true. But most of those are also already gentrifying; it's not a case of density pushing along the trend, either, in places like Petworth or Columbia Heights.[/quote]
