[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s an interesting link to 25 new developments coming on line now or shortly, most in DC.  The development lobby that has effectively captured the mayor’s office claims that DC needs to upzone to build many more of these, especially west of Rock Creek Park.  So much for  “affordable housing.”

The message: Poor people need to get out. [/quote]

When poor people are displaced to suburbs they lose access to jobs and services. Look at what happened to the public housing residents of MD who were moved to places like Glen Bernie, Beltsville, and Gaithersburg.[/quote]

Nope this is just a lie

The people who move to those suburbs aren’t poor - they are middle class - they live there and commute because it’s all they can afford because low income people get free or very cheap nice housing  closer in

It’s apparently a crime for low income people to have to commute to work but it’s ok for a middle class person to do it

It’s ridiculous they way people say that there are no low income jobs in the suburbs. Of course there are! Strip malls, shopping centers, restaurants are available en masse in every DC suburb[/quote]
