[quote=Anonymous]Rezoning and consequent up-zoning is fine but it has to be done with an eye on concurrent rebuilding of infrastructure. And there needs to be funding put forth for that before we start upending stable neighborhoods. Where this is going to be a problem is in marginal SFH areas that are just maintaining decent schools and quality of life. With up-zoning those areas will be challenged heavily not to enter a death spiral, especially regarding the schools. Of course this won't be a problem in places like McClean or Oakton. The truth though is housing in the DC area is actually quite affordable when compared against median incomes. The median income in Fairfax County is something like $125,000 per year, and the median home price about $550,000. There is no crisis here... it's not like say Santa Clara County where the median household income is less than $120,000 per year, and the median home price well over $900,000.[/quote]
