[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Architect here. Most of the cost of new housing in dc is dealing with the totally insane bureaucracy. It’s shameful. There should be a lot more public outrage about it. [/quote] +1 The cost of building an ADU is absurd because of the bureaucracy. Doesn't make any sense.[/quote] That bureaucracy is zoning law. We need to roll back zoning laws, including those that allow abutters to object to new housing. That will lead us to build more (which really is Economics 101: at high demand more supply means lower prices.) And building more will lead to lower housing costs. Say yes to new housing. Yes In My Backyard. YIMBY.[/quote]
