[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more than 1% of people care about more than layout.  That's insane.  And yes, I care about putting too many voucher holders in any one building or one neighborhood.  The number of voucher holders in NW has led to an increase in violent crime, theft, panhandling, public drug use and has affected the quality of life.  We all should care about her neighborhoods.[/quote]

You are describing the occupants…completely different issue.

You are wrong about how many people care about the look and design of buildings…but hey I will give you 2%[/quote]

People really don't care at all what buildings look like?  I care about whether there is green space around them, whether the exteriors are flat or broken up with interesting windows and balconies, whether the materials used are solid or cheap.   I also care about streetscape, and I suspect others do as well.  I notice that in Arlington, the busiest restaurants are still the ones in the lower scale (and older) parts of the neighborhoods.  I do think people care about aesthetics and scale.  There are lovely examples of apartments buildings in DC and terrible examples.[/quote]
