[quote=Anonymous]The entire focus on Ward 3 housing is highly misplaced. Ward 3 is attractive to those who can afford SFHs in DC. If you eliminate or reduce the attractiveness of those neighborhoods, you lose some of those residents. And those are the residents that pay the bulk of DC income taxes. If you lose them, you lose your tax base. NYC has the same issue, in that its income tax revenues are highly dependent on the super wealthy. DC needs to focus on expanding and improving neighborhoods in other parts of DC, particularly Wards 7 and 8, which have legitimate complaints about insufficient focus. Further, there is no real housing in DC. DC's population was over 800K in 1950, and over 750K in 1970. Today, it is approximately 700K.[/quote]
