[quote=Anonymous][quote]"DC, MoCo and PG are cooperating on a regional approach to address homelessness. Google it."[/quote] This regional approach is very good. Of course, it's important not to lose sight of the regional perspective when considering housing availability and prices. There's much handwringing and money being spent about affordable housing in DC. While affordable housing is important, the problem doesn't look so dire when the region is considered more broadly. Cities wax and wane, areas change and some markets remain relatively affordable while others increase in price. As DC neighborhoods gentrify and housing prices rise, parts of PG County remain quite affordable, not far away from DC. Our housing market is regional. By what logic should DC spend millions to keep the same people in the city when there are perfectly good, more affordable market alternatives in the region? [/quote]
