[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, which single family homes were razed?  Didn't happen in DC.  I call outsider commentary.[/quote]

do you think all those high end condo buildings were built on farm land? on empty fields?[/quote]

In Northeast DC, near me, they are built on land once used for sports fields by religious orders, former highway ramps, converted industrial areas, and yes, empty land.  While a few houses have been razed in our neighborhood, in most cases there are developments built on land that was previously under-developed.  Additionally, pop ups are added.

Some examples of in-fill like I've described:

https://www.eya.com/development/capabilities/chancellors-row
https://www.eya.com/townhomes/washington-dc/reservoir-district

I can give you five more similar developments in Northeast DC that did not involve tearing any houses down, but instead consisted of in-fill where the area was under-developed.  I can name five more empty lots ready for similar development.
