Upzoning is not going to help you buy a house. It's going to make townhouses and single family homes scarcer. If you want a house, find Ashburn or Leesburg on a map. Otherwise, find a condo you like.

Upzoning is going to help you find a place to live that’s not a 2 hr commute away.

It is selfish to imagine that everyone can always live in a single family house.
It’s just not possible.
New land doesn’t appear like unicorns and Santa Claus.
We’ve got the land we’ve got. Just as Berlin does.
And we should be upzoning so many lots in DC can be converted to multi-family housing.[/quote]

Agree but PP said they wanted a house. It’s presumptuous to try to shove them into a different kind of housing. I don’t understand why urbanism always involves telling other people what they want when they clearly don’t want an apartment. [/quote]
