DC is like Manhattan in this way - everyone desires Park Ave with view.  But are priced out.  But in NYC -they find other areas in the city and and demand for amenities grows as people put time, money and energy into building a community they value.

What is different - here people think they deserve to live in a multimillion dollar home in Ward 3 - and darn it if they cannot - they want affordable housing and to build condos on green space in Ward 3. [/quote]

Why shouldn't there be more housing in Ward 3, if there's demand for more housing?[/quote]

What’s wrong with Ward 8? Come on. I want to hear you say it. It’s affordable for most of the white and/or professional class that claims they’re progressives, cherish diversity, and say schools don’t matter. SFHs too. Oh? You you’d rather move further to RFK and rebrand it “Hill East” than cross the river?[/quote]

+1. The upzoning advocates seem to have strong preferences as to who they’re willing to have as neighbors.[/quote]

Exactly.  Then they cover it up by advocating for affordable housing where they deem appropriate.  So virtuous!  So fake![/quote]

Honestly it comes across like they think they are too good to live next to African Americans or poor people. [/quote]
