[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]

Because "single dudes" in their 30s are grown ups? So they buy properties and places to live?[/quote]

When I was single, and also when I was in my 30s and married, I would never have wanted to live in Tenleytown. It's really only appealing if you have school-aged kids. [/quote]
So your goal is to make it less family friendly because there are too many family friendly neighborhoods in DC?[/quote]
