[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To have diverse schools you need diverse housing. [b]Bethesda and Potomac does not really have that.[/b] My old neighborhood nearly every small store, Delli, Bar, Dry Cleaner, Hardware store had apartments on top. Usually Mom and Pop landlords in busy sections of towns in buildings with zero amenities, you know AC in window, walk to laundermat and park car in street.

My school district was amazing and we had multi-million dollar homes in town but low income folks could move in and enjoy schools. We dont have that type of housing       [/quote]

They were set up that way on purpose.[/quote]

as is the whole world's housing supply

closer to jobs? housing and land costs more psf. 
closer to transportation? housing and land costs more psf. 
closer to airports, parks, stores, entertainment? housing and land costs more psf. 
less crime? housing and land costs more psf. 
cachement area schools with highly performing students? housing and land costs more psf.

No, the whole world's housing supply is not based on zoning that only allows single-family detached houses on large-ish lots.[/quote]
Wtf is diverse housing?

It sure as heck does not mean way below market cost in any big city. That uneconomical and unsustainable.

So you’re going to go do some tear downs in NYC, LOndon, Paris, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Tel Aviv, San Paulo, Mexico City and slap up some council housing for the poors and illegal immigrants?  Good luck with that. Wonder what will happen.... probably the same thing that always happens to the projects.

Btw, thanx to the PPP who succinctly described the global property value function. Unclear if Econ is required in uber progressive county school systems. [/quote]
