[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP - it may never be cheaper, but having more units will make it so more people can live here, rather than driving in from Ashburn.[/quote] Unless they want a SFH. I could have chosen to live in a Dupont rowhouse but didn't want to, so I take the metro in from a little further out. The dirty secret about housing is that there are studios and 1- and 2-bedroom apartments available at a variety of prices in many neighborhoods around town, even ones that feed into highly regarded public schools. People choose not to live in those units because maybe they lack central A/C, or in-unit washer/driers, or they can get more space for the same price further out. One reason you don't get more three bedrooms or super luxury in new developments is that rent is higher than a mortgage, and the market for rentals at those price points isn't very big. That said, we can and should provide more affordable housing.[/quote]
