[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]here's the best piece I've read on the proposal. Quite glad it's dead. Racists gonna racist. https://ggwash.org/view/93212/chevy-chase-historic-district-applicants-admit-what-its-actually-about[/quote]

I dunno. [b]Seems like the only people who are really into increasing density are white people who are *desperate* to move into overwhelmingly white neighborhoods[/b]. There's already lots of affordable housing in majority black neighborhoods that they like to pretend doesn't exist. [/quote]

They are very picky about neighborhoods they want to move into, cheaply--they think that building tons of 1 bedroom condo will allow them to live in the nicest parts of DC for 1500 a month. Not going to happen. [/quote]

It will if you can the oldsters out lf their SFHs and into the condos. That's the next step.[/quote]

They will not want to do this. So what is your plan for forcing them to do so? Just like road diets are to force us to find driving intolerable, how will you make the "oldsters" lives intolorable?[/quote]

Smart Growth can advocate for higher tax rates on empty nester SFHs.  That could make a dent in the problem.[/quote]

Congress would never let DC apply a special tax to force elderly seniors out of their homes. [/quote]
