[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting mixed use high rises around and between Van Ness and Tenleytown could work from a SimCity perspective but we'd have to, at a minimum, expand Hearst. Otherwise just build a few apartment buildings near AU and UDC. College kids and grad students easily fit the income demographics targeted.[/quote] There have been quite a few apartment buildings put in on the way to friendship heights in the past decade, down Wisconsin to Georgetown as well, the new homeless shelter and hideous garage that blew threw all the variances with the Council's blessing, and the Fannie Mae redevelopment. Housing is coming in steadily. As to affordable housing, I'm not sure where the Mayor's proposal is coming from, when she is the one incentivizing the demise of rent-control. I'm sure some landlords are delighted though. Eventually, they will just flip these units to a higher rent.[/quote]
