[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody asked earlier. What is the ideal population for Washington DC? Right now it is 705,749.[/quote]

Probably nobody answered because there's no good answer to the question, because it's like asking, "What is the ideal number of tulips for the National Arboretum?"[/quote]

Maybe, though the Arboretum could probably tell you exactly how many they need for their ecosystem. Just like USPS knows how many deer they want running around Rock Creek.

But if it is unknown (let's assume it is) do we just build until all of the polls have fat bank accounts, or until what? What threshold are we building to?

We already have recognized that we have more people than DC services can handle now, so what is the magic number that we have set as a goal to build to accomodate?[/quote]

What we do know is that the population projections thrown around by Trueblood, GGW and their echo chamber, to create the illusion of a market housing crisis to justify their massive zoning overreach, are wildly inflated over the conservative estimates of the District’s Chief Financial Officer.  The CFO -- even pre-Covid, by the way —  projected rather modest future population growth.Because the CFO’s office is supposed to be accurate as revenue and other assumptions depend on its work, I would trust the CFO’s projections more.
