[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the person who wants to see townhouses, buy the land and build townhouses.

Otherwise, the people who own the land are going to put it to its best and most profitable use, which isn't townhouses.

If all the land in DC was used for the most profitable use, the city would end up really sucking. If you want to build a great city, profit needs to take a back seat. [/quote]

Sadly, for you, we live in a capitalist society with the ability for private ownership of land. If you don't like that system, then maybe the USA isn't the right place for you.[/quote]

Everyone loves private ownership of land until someone builds an aluminum smelter (or homeless shelter) right next door. Don't get me started on when neighbors start adding pop-ups. [/quote]

Well, it is a good thing no one is proposing to build an aluminum smelter or homeless shelter in Friendship Heights, then.  Can you come up with an argument that isn't a total strawman?[/quote]
