[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the "bad faith" poster. I would be happy with hundreds of affordable units, and I don't think that would change the neighborhood, much less change it for the worse.[/quote]
So thanks for confirm your quota of housing for poor people in your neighborhood. Just can’t have too many to alter the neighborhood character. [/quote]

I would be happy with thousands. You are the one implying a quote. I put no such restrictions on it.[/quote]
You said that a few hundred would not change the character of a neighborhood. Since you believe there is a threshold for changing character of neighborhoods, how many would that be? What’s the number?[/quote]

Well, let's see. Each ANC holds roughly 2,000 people, so let's assume Tenleytown and Friendship Heights currently have about 3,000 people, rounding up for the sake of argument. I'm a different PP, and I'd be fine with adding more than 1,000 new affordable units in the neighborhood -- which would, assuming most of them are built to suit families, approximately double the current population. I think it'd probably be hard to fit many more units than that into the area, but it would be space, not the existence of more residents or their income levels, that would be my main worry about adding more than that.[/quote]
