[quote=Anonymous]Build, or accept you want to transfer wealth from younger and poorer renters and buyers to older and richer owners. Congress should legislate DC's zoning for everything to be at least by-right lotline x 4-story development. That'd soak up much of the demand that gets sprawled further outward. VA & MD close-in jurisdiction should upzone each current zone by 2x density, again, with by-right development. ALso, 3rd party engineering stamp certification of compliance with building codes in lieu of building permits and inspections. Buildings should be untaxed - exempted from property taxes, and property taxes should be increased to be revenue neutral. This would probably increase DC's housing stock by 50% in a few years, making it affordable for more people. Schools should issue vouchers so that private schools and homeschooling can keep the public schools from overcrowding. [/quote]
