[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't fall for the promise of affordable housing.  The "progressives" on the CP ANC actually voted down an amendment to require more affordable housing in up-zoned properties.  They're just in the pocket of developers.[/quote]

Affordable housing is just a red herring from the DC development lobby.  It’s really about the development.[/quote]

So you think it is better to restrict housing in the city and have that income and sales tax go to other jurisdictions?[/quote]

Is there a current shortage of housing in DC? If so, what kind are we short on? And how would this development address that? 
The shortage people face seems to be SFH with room to grow a family, but wouldn't these be more apartments for singles? I don't see any shortage there.[/quote]

Why it matters: The D.C. metro is short almost 134,000 homes for sale or rent, one of the widest housing gaps in the country, a new Zillow analysis shows.

In 2019, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments issued a report stating that the region needs to add 320,000 more housing units between 2020 and 2030, and that at least 75% of this new housing should be affordable to low- and medium-income households.
