Why would you increase housing in any location where the current density exceeds current infrastructure, like school capacity, city services, etc.?[/quote]

Because it's better than increasing housing in locations where there currently isn't any infrastructure (like school capacity, city services, etc.) at all.[/quote]

DP. For whom is it better? Infrastructure can be built or improved upon. Why give up on less dense communities like that? Is it because they are poorer? Or is it race related?[/quote]

Please tell the "why would you increase housing in any location where the current density exceeds current infrastructure, like school capacity, city services, etc.?" PP that infrastructure can be improved upon.[/quote]

Why do you only want infrastructure improved in Ward 3? Because that’s kind of what it sounds like. [/quote]

DC is like Manhattan in this way - everyone desires Park Ave with view.  But are priced out.  But in NYC -they find other areas in the city and and demand for amenities grows as people put time, money and energy into building a community they value.

What is different - here people think they deserve to live in a multimillion dollar home in Ward 3 - and darn it if they cannot - they want affordable housing and to build condos on green space in Ward 3. [/quote]
