[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's five million people in the suburbs. There's <700,000 in DC. Don't you think a whole lot of people in Virginia and Maryland would like a shorter commute? Any new housing built in DC is going to be absorbed by people in the 'burbs. I guess that will open up new places in Gaithersburg and Ashburn and places like that. Yay? [/quote] The density bros. like to pretend there is suddenly going to be lots of affordable housing in attractive areas that only *they* will notice or want. The reality is they will be outbid for any new developments that come online. Anything WOTP, for example, will be bid up by parents who will pay through the nose to get their kids to get into Murch, etc. [/quote]
