[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] Totally. All of this. Nothing ever fully captures anything from the side of those who take a financial risk. It’s always this perceived attack on monies interests and how they rape the poor and yada yada. Most landlords are small time. I wish there was more of a vocal voice for these folks.[/quote] It’s hard for me to understand. The folks on the inside clearly see the whole picture. They are fundraising, etc. But their readership and foot soldiers that they have cultivated, I cannot fathom how they have been convinced to support policies against their own interests. There is no mechanism by which hundreds of “luxury” apartments in a desirable area will make that area cheaper for them. They may cite obscure “studies”, but here in this area there is a positive feedback loop. More “luxury” apartments in an area breed more luxury apartments. [/quote]
