[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I resent the attitude that neighbors should have no say in preserving the character of their neighborhoods. Plus there's a constant theme of "I can't afford to live in the hippest areas of DC, so you all need to build enough to make the area more affordable". Sorry - doesn't work like that. [/quote] "Character" us often code for 'keeping it white and rich" - that may not apply to you, but it does for many in DC and the region. You may have more altruistic reasons, but for many, the idea that the rich people have their nice neighborhoods and want to preclude new development (where it is legal) to keep others out is a red flag.[/quote] How "many?" How do you know?[/quote] They are not going to answer this because this is their favorite tactic, implying that people that don’t agree with them are racist. Interestingly though, they don’t work with groups advocate on behalf of housing for people of color. And, if you take them at their word, how incredible must it be to walk around thinking everyone is racist?[/quote]
