[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somehow density loses its allure when all of the fast casual concept eateries and craft cocktail bars are closed.[/quote]

The only people who care about density are 30 year old white guys who want to live near bars. [/quote]

Or people of any age or race who realize that suburban sprawl is bad for the environment.[/quote]

Building more high end young professional flats with quartz countertops and Asian fusion fast casual restaurants on the group floor in DC neighborhoods will prevent SFH sprawl into corn fields north of Germantown.  Oh, and prevent climate change.[/quote]

So you have a personal dislike of of stuff young professionals in DC are evidently willing to pay for. I get it - I have a personal dislike of brick-fronted, vinyl-sided single-family-detached houses with quartz countertops and spindly trees planted way too close to the house by the builders, in areas that were hayfields three years ago. Now imagine if I stood up a meeting and said, "I support a ban on development of former hayfields because those houses are dumb and ugly, and I liked the hayfields better." Actually you don't have to imagine, because people do that. It's not a winning argument.[/quote]
