[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we looking for more apartments in DC? There is a glut of available apartments. Walk to ANY complex and you will see units available. Why are we building more and more, when you can get insane deals on the ones that are here? Has anybody seen a sign on a building saying "sorry, no units available"?[/quote]

Define "insane deals" please?[/quote]

Months of free rent.

It used to be that sometimes you would see that your move in month was free. Now there are signs all over that say no rent in 2020 (Those signs were up in September). First and last month free. Three months no rent once on one year anniversary...[/quote]

How many months, and what's the rent when it isn't free?[/quote]

group homes, basement apartments, room-mates, living with parents or a longer commute. that's what we did when we were "millenials"[/quote]

Millennials are now pushing 40, is that what you think grown adults with families should do? Is that what you did when you were 40?[/quote]

NP. Yeah, move to where it's more affordable like Fairfax,  or further out near Haymarket. I would live to live on the beach in San Diego  but that's life. I don't know anyone waiting around for the govt to rescue them from income inequality.[/quote]

When i was pushing 40 I lived in DC in a tiny apartment with my family because I liked the location. Now I live in a house (pushing 50) and still like the location. So yeah. that's what I did when I was 40. Grow up![/quote]
