There are over 1500 housing units under construction right now 1 to 2 blocks south of that site.  Yet you say that Tenleytown needs more, more, more.

By the way, how many of the units at City Ridge and at 4000 Wisconsin will be truly affordable?  Yeah.  But that is the Smart Growth pretext for allowing laissez faire development in DC.[/quote]

No, it's not.[/quote]

So, what percentage of the new units will be "inclusive zoning"? And how many of those IZ units will actually be somewhat affordable, or are they simply set at 80% AMI?  [/quote]
IZ lets a select few lucky duckies and insiders that can navigate city bureaucracy and win a lottery have their rent subsidized by everyone else in their building that pays more, even if those other people in the building make less income.[/quote]

Well, isn't that better than no IZ and thus no affordable housing units at all?

What do you suggest that uses private dollars as an alternative?[/quote]

How about pegging IZ at a much lower level than 80% AMI and requiring a serious percentage of IZ, at least 35%=40%, in exchange for a map amendment or higher density?[/quote]

Well, that is if they want to go through a PUD. Look at the last 15 PUD's in Ward 3 - how long did they take? how much in legal expenses did the developers borne? How many of them were actually built?[/quote]
