[quote=Anonymous]I think, too, that there are probably multi-bedroom condos coming...but the demographic will be downsizing babyboomers. In this new development, for example, there will only be 2 bedrooms:

But they will not be coming to developments in the DC urban core because they're targetting downsizing babyboomers. No one who's giving up a large home in Potomac wants only one bedroom, but these are folks for whom the large condos on Connecticut and Mass aves are edgily urban.

Part of it is that the 33-45 demographic are basically gen x and that's asmall generation. On the bright side, there are about as many milleniials as gen x-ers and even though they aren't quite at the stage in thier life yet where schools and such seem a big deal to them, eventually they will and they may be large enough to consolidate the gains and peferance shifts gen x initiated (and be large enough to counterbalance the AARP set).
