Let’s say we can add 20% more housing. It will still not meet demand. And therefore we will still have high prices.

Supply, demand.

The jobs need to be more spread out then, both at the national and regional level. Move more federal jobs to Fairfax, Gaithersburg, Frederick, and Fort Meade. The schools in Gambrills, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Severna Park, Davidsonville, Edgewater, Urbana, and almost all of Howard County are much more desirable than the vast majority of schools in Arlington as well. There’s lots of amenities in this region besides DC: Frederick, Annapolis, Baltimore, and Columbia. Some of these places are near MARCs and the metro as well, so if one spouse works in one place and the other works in DC, they’d still have easy access to it. [/quote]

You can't force companies to locate in specific locations.

Yeah, and they're proving to want no part of MD, for the most part. You may love all those towns in Frederick and Howard County, but the corporate development is all being driven along that Arlington-Fairfax-Loudoun Co line. MD and VA used to be neck and neck in terms of economic development. Now the gap is so wide it'll likely never be closed. [/quote]
