[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful about assuming that "we" don't want D.C. to slide into SF territory of wildly expensive housing.  "We" don't actually all agree that the city needs more affordable rentals. As long as there are some addresses for moderate-income people to live in the Greater, Greater metro area -- and there absolutely are -- then we're good.  Those residences need not be in the District.

If we don't have enough affordable housing for teachers and first responders IN THE DISTRICT, then we are failing. That should be a priority and a benefit to those employees.[/quote]

This is a tautological argument.

It is not an inherent "failure" for a moderate income worker to have limitations on residential options. All participants on this thread face cost limits on their choice in housing.

If our first responders are forced to commute an hour or more to get to the District, then what happens when there is a catastrophic emergency where all hands are called and they can't get here?[/quote]
