[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]moving density higher is 99 percent driven by developers. It doesn't take people into consideration. DC is a great city to live in because it has parks and trees and wide open spaces. Humans have a right to live in humane environments. The dystopian landscape that the pro-density folks are calling for won't even make things cheaper.

Also - its just a negotiating tactic. the developers are pushing for huge uptick in density so they can eventually accept half or even 25 percent of it.

Don't fall for it. [/quote]

Exactly right. Developers are also negotiating for more density by right so they’re not on the hook for providing infrastructure that wouldn’t be necessary but for their projects. What’s remarkable to me is that so many people who are otherwise progressive have been suckered into lobbying by people who have otherwise fought tooth and nail against minimum wage, organized labor, environmental regulations, and affordable housing minimums.
