There is more to the DC area than just Ward 3. However, if you oppose duplexes in Ward 3, and nobody would do it anyway if it's allowed, then why would you care if it's allowed?[/quote]

Because developers like you will come in - scoop up SFHs - and turn ward three into a hodgepodge of ugly multimillion duplexes. Literally the absolute worst of both worlds. [/quote]

So wait. Does it, or does it not, make economic sense for a person to build two-unit houses (aka duplexes) on lots currently occupied by one-unit houses (aka oneplexes) in Ward 3?

Because "it doesn't make economic sense to build duplexes in Ward 3" and "evil developers will build ugly duplexes all over Ward 3" can't both be true.[/quote]

Well, I was looking at this in the context of affordable housing. If you don’t care if the duplexes are affordable than - of course - the economics make sense for developers. [/quote]

That's an all-over-the-place argument you're making, there. So, to start with, do you agree that it can make economic sense for people to build duplexes in Ward 3?

Also, why are we only talking about Ward 3?[/quote]
