[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotal. Bottom line, we need more housing and more affordable housing in Ward 3. Increasing density is one way of beginning to address it. If you want to run a rent controlled apartment building then go buy one. You seem to be really good at telling apartment building owners and movie theater owners what to do with their properties.[/quote] The only way to get meaningful new affordable housing is fior DC to build it on government owned land, given high property prices. In Ward 3, the UDC site that has been the swing space for several school renovations could be a promising site. But the notion that opening the floodgates to upzone our neighborhoods for lots of upscale market rate flats, in the hope that relatively few IZ units trickle down, is naive. Let’s recognize it for what it is, a pretext served up by the Smart Growth industry to secure windfall profit opportunities through regulatory favors. [/quote]
