[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The Smart Growth industry, which constantly pushes the theme that DC needs more affordable housing, does not support converting the Marriott site for affordable units. The site is a potential good mine for market rate development, which is the Smart Growth real goal. “Affordable housing” is simply the political pretext to obtain their goal.[/quote] This is a patently false statement. [/quote] Which part?[/quote] All of it.[/quote] That’s a gross overstatement. The Smart Growth people are even moving away from saying “affordable housing” and saying “more attainable housing” instead because the affordable housing lie is no longer tenable. The developers whose water you’re carrying will take every concession you’re fighting for to margin if they’re left unchecked. [/quote]
