[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until the US becomes a socialist or communist nation, there will be huge differences in housing opportunity. That's how capitalism works.

The smart growth crowd could also be accused of racism. The kind of affordable housing they talk about is available in other sections of the city. But they want to live in Tenleytown and Friendship Heights. I wonder why.[/quote]

I agree with "the smart growth crowd," and I live in Tenleytown in a house I own. I want more affordable housing built near me -- affordable housing which I will not benefit from, because, as I said, I already live here. The idea that this is all just a way for 30something single dudes to get into this neighborhood is silly (for one, why would you want to live in this neighborhood as a single dude?).[/quote]
“I want my neighborhood to be economically less desirable”[/quote]

Why would a few affordable housing units make a neighborhood less desirable?[/quote]
So you only want a few low income neighbors? What’s your limit? Why do you have a limit? What’s wrong with living near low income people that you don’t want to live near too many of them?[/quote]
Still not seeing a response here. It’s interesting that the “more neighbors” crowd want to quota poor people in their own neighborhoods. Can’t have too many, right? It’s what IZ is all about. [/quote]
