[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding more housing units will make housing affordable. Just look at Navy Yard.

It's probably the most densely populated neighborhood now in the city. It's almost nothing but condos.

And 600 square foot condos there cost....more than the single family homes that were knocked down to make way for them?  Wait, that wasnt supposed to happen. I thought increasing density was supposed to push prices down? [/quote]

But there are houses available for them elsewhere- they won’t be competing with the condo dwellers for the SFH in PG, for instance.[/quote]

Oh i see. So the black people who were pushed out of Navy Yard to make way for white people can go live somewhere else? That's not in DC? That's what you're saying? Cool, cool. Not racist at all. [/quote]

No, it benefits everyone because the people who live in the condos get pulled out of the pool of people looking for housing, so you’re not competing with as many people now as you were before.  Make sense?[/quote]
