Is there any counter group, or is it just that neighbors need to mobilize against these profit crazed development pushers?[/quote]

GGW [b]is[/b][i] the counter group to the entrenched NIMBYs that have essentially caused the housing crisis that exists today.[/quote]

LOL Nimbys have not caused a housing crisis. That's hilarious.[/quote]

So with confidence you believe that housing supply in Washington DC is keeping up with demand?[/quote]

This housing supply/demand 'crisis' is a bit overblown.  Look no further than Cathedral Commons, on Cleveland Park's doorstep, which sold itself as a walkable, "transit-oriented" development when it got zoning approvals.

According to this local real estate business website, Cathedral Commons has a vacancy rate of 30 percent, several years after opening.  It supposed to have 10 percent 'affordable' units.  And this transit-oriented development is -- wait for it -- using a luxury car promotion to attract tenants to the project.  You can't make this stuff up.
