[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a Northwest neighborhood that BowserBuild has targeted for lots more density.  What has kept so many of us sane during this time has been the opportunity to walk, with plenty of space for social distancing.  The back streets are quiet which permit people to walk in the street while others pass on sidewalks.  For the first time in years, there are children riding their bikes and scooters in the street.  One sees neighbors one hasn’t seen in what seems like a couple of years. We stop and talk from opposite sidewalks. There’s bird song and wildlife.  People seem to appreciate the “village in the city” more than ever.  In the commercial area, DC has seen fit to close a parking area to provide more space for social distancing on the avenue.  One wonders what DC would need to do in another pandemic in the area if 12 story buildings replaced existing lower scale structure and houses.  It would be a different, probably diminished, experience for sure.[/quote]

The reason you can do that is: your neighbors are driving their cars less. It has nothing to do with absence of multi-family buildings in your neighborhood.[/quote]
