[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with this entire debate in DC and MD is that everyone focuses on building more housing in what apparently are considered desirable areas.  Maybe, the best approach is to create more desirable areas, rather that squeezing more folks in limited space.  Wards 7 and 8 residents regularly (and rightfully) complain about lack of development there.  So, lets do more development there, improving their quality of life and making their neighborhoods more desirable.  [/quote]

Have you been to Anacostia, Congress Heights, Deanwood or Hillcrest recently? Because your suggestion demonstrates a lack of knowledge of what is going on on the ground in those Ward 7 and Wad 8 neighborhoods.[/quote]

You can buy a house in Anacostia for $450,000. All the entitled white guys whining about zoning laws want to live though in Ward 3, not Anacostia, and I think we all know why. [/quote]

Lets improve Wards 7 and 8, which benefits current and future residents and has a better chance of attracting businesses.[/quote]
