And no one seriously wants to ban SFHs.  They want to end SFH only zoning.  To allow people more options on what to do with their property.

The vast majority of the "end SFH zoning" that I have encountered don't really care about "options" or even "affordability," it's all about punishing people richer than them for daring to be able to afford a SFH in DC.  I've yet to meet one that specifically advocates for upzoning the entire city, it's always all about Ward 3 and WOTP. If you point out that there are just as many single family homes in NE and SE which could provide even more affordable housing than building on $800,000 lots in NW you get no response.

For the record, I'm 100% for eliminating single family zoning citywide. I just don't see any rational reason for limiting it to one specific area.[/quote]

One of the biggest advocates for gentle density and for eliminating SFH zoning in Ward 3, who consults with OP and opines on housing issues for a big DC think tank, lives in a SF home in Crestwood.  Ironically, this is one of several Ward 4 neighborhoods that are slated for more zoning protections in OP’s draft amendments to various elements of the Comprehensive Palm![/quote]
