[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, ^ right. Basically, I'm saying that if DC has this magic wand to tell developers what to do. then tell them what to do. We don't have to change the ONLY unique features of our city for them. There's plenty of land yet to be developed, and the Mayor and Council can easily pass laws to incentivize mixed income housing within current height requirements. What exactly is magical about seven stories?? :roll: [/quote] A. They don't have a magic wand. They have to act within the law and US constitution, which limits uncompensated taking of private property. Many forms of requirements on property that it is currently legal to build on would be takings. B. Some govt asks WOULD make development unprofitable. [/quote]
