[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, it isn't. It's Cleveland Park, etc. This isn't about height restrictions, it's about building multi-family apartment/condo buildings.[/quote]

You are cherry picking. NW already has plenty of multi family apartments and condo buildings. Just drive down Connecticut or Cathedral or Wis and you can see some of the largest and most beautiful multi family units in the city.

The densifiers, want more and taller and have targeted NW, because they are builders and they see real estate rates. This has nothing to do with 'the city is 200K people short of some magic elixir where WMATA will function and town hall will finally figure out homelessness'. This is a construction and real estate gambit and that is it.[/quote]

NW already has plenty of single-family houses, too. So what?

Nobody is building buildings to stand empty. They are building buildings because people want to move into them. In other words, there is a demand for housing, and the builders are supplying housing to meet the demand.[/quote]

Not true.  There are plenty of units that stay empty.  And builders can claim them as a loss.

Especially now, after Covid.  [b]There will absolutely prove to be an oversupply.[/b][/quote]

Well, then, you don't have to worry about it, because if people won't buy, then builders won't build. Your problem is solved. Hooray![/quote]
