[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]

Do, can all you GGE advocates get over to Arlington and point out to the county planners that the sector plans for EFC (on a Metro) and the upcoming Lee Hwy sector plan need to include a lot more density? Those areas need to be rezoned to allow for things other than SFHs. It’s garbage that the Pike corridor is zoned for so much multi family housing with low parking minimums when we’re not on or near enough to Metro and the Streetcar got cancelled. Buses aren’t going to cut it for the amount of density planned. And telling the rest of the county they can “help” affordability with a handful of ADUs is ridiculous. Upzone the transit corridors first. Then, if that isn’t enough, look at ADUs. Unless Arlington is just trying to further the residential segregation we inherited from Jim Crow. [/quote]
