[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone likes our boring, leafy, walkable, green, [b]low skyline city[/b] with its smattering of commercial hubs. Literally, everyone likes that about DC. If you don't, you go to a tastier city.[/quote]
YIMBYs disagree. They believe the height limits are racist.[/quote]

I think they believe the height limits are people saying “I got mine, F you”, instead of considering what’s good for everyone.[/quote]

If you can't afford to live in a certain part of town, then look elsewhere.  You are NOT entitled to live wherever you want.  Grow up!![/quote]

Why do you always assume that YIMBY advocates are seeking to move to a certain part of town? Isn't the whole concept of "yes in my backyard" that people who already live there are advocating for changes that make it easier for others to do the same? In my case, I live in Ward 3 and think we'd all be better off if there were more, and cheaper, housing stock up here. I don't need to be "entitled to live wherever I want," as I already own a home here.[/quote]
