[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can see this with housing. Tearing down single-family homes and replacing them with luxury condos is reducing the available stock of homes for people with children. It's basically saying we cater to childless adults. [/quote] In terms of revenue, people without kids provide more revenue for the city, and so DC is catering to them. Kids are a drain on resources (and I am a parent).[/quote] I don't the DC government is that sophisticated. I think it's more that real estate developers give tons of campaign contributions to our elected representatives and, in return, our elected representatives let real estate developers do what they please. In other countries, we'd call this bribery. [/quote]
