[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem isn't that they want to build housing, the problem is that there is not any follow on plan. How to manage the resulting problems with traffic, over crowded schools, parking, etc.

It's "yes" to development but no planning for anything more than the developer's projects.[/quote]

[b]The only way for the District to grow is through more density.[/b] That is what developers do, so ya, unless we want a stagnant economy, what do you propose?

That said, the traffic isn't DC residents, it is MD and VA commuters. Maybe invest more in mass transit to address that issue. Maybe invest more more bike infrastructure to address that issue. There is finite parking which is mostly underutilized. Building MORE parking just attracts more cars. You complain about "traffic" but want more auto-inducing parking? That doesn't make sense.

The school overcrowding can be solved by redrawing boundaries. Want to take a look at the 50+ page threads on that topic?[/quote]

What does this even mean? This is the sort of empty rhetoric we always get when it comes to people arguing for more density. [/quote]

[b]It means what it says. DC can have a growing economy or a static economy[/b].[/quote]

that is 100 percent absurd. whether DC grows or not has literally nothing to do with increasing density. this is the kind of pseudo-economic theories we always here from the upzoning zealots. [/quote]

NP on this thread, and that is just patently absurd. We get it, you want your neighborhood of SFHs full of white families to remain exactly the same as it has been since 1960. It will not, and no one else has to humor your ridiculous entitlement. [/quote]
