[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now the development agenda is to hollow out single family zoning in Northwest DC by allowing 6 to 9 unit apartment buildings by right on side streets within a half-mile of a bus line. That’s pretty much anywhere. They soothingly call it “gentle density.”[/quote] How would Northwest DC stay 'desirable' with this plan obliterate the SFHs, low density and green space? Is there just some magic pixie dust in NW DC that makes it desirable NO MATTER WHAT? At that point, Anacostia will become fully desirable, with its rolling hills, underenrolled schools and plenty o' SFH. People want to move to NW for a reason, and when the reason is gone--that it's a pleasant place to live -they will go too.[/quote] All of this. The schools are a huge draw too. If they decline, are over-enrolled, etc., there goes the tax base. [/quote]
