[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone can live in DuPont Circle. Sorry![/quote]

More people could live there than do, and the same is true for plenty of other close in, transit served places.  Dupont circle is served by a metro station that was NOT built by locals who currently live there, why shouldn't we leverage it further?  And its walking distance to the White House and gads of jobs, why shouldn't we have more people living walking distance to work?

And we wouldn't do this only at Dupont, but at lots and lots of close in and metro served locations.   Everyone can and should have more and better housing choices than they do now. [/quote]

I'm sorry you can't afford to live in the very best neighborhoods. It is a tragedy. [/quote]

I remember when DuPont Circle was a sketchy neighborhood. I remember when no one walked down 14th street at night except for prostitutes. I remember when cabs wouldn't take you to Petworth. No one wants to live in "bad neighborhoods" until they become "good neighborhoods" and then suddenly everyone wants to live in the same place, in the place they previously turned their nose up at.
