[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Because SFZ (Single family Zoned) areas are some of the city's most racially-segregated, largely retaining the demographics established by restrictive covenants and discriminatory lending, the report recommends targeting gentle density for particular areas that would achieve equity goals."

Here it is. There is no academic argument, so call the current zoning racist. [/quote]

This is some looking glass sh*t.

Where i live (Ward 4), 'increasing density' is code for kicking black people out of DC.

They buy homes from middle-class black homeowners, gut them and replace them with million-dollar condos that are all bought by young white people.

So, let me ask you this:  if folks from tree huggers in Chevy Chase worried about green space to pearl clutchers in Cleveland Park concerned with historic preservation to long-time residents in Ward 4 upset with gentrification, all oppose the mayor’s giveaway to developers, then people should be able to change it.  All of us need to make sure that our council members hear from us, loudly and frequently.  And we need to find someone to take on Bowser in the next election!  Why can’t we push back?[/quote]
