[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New spin: for every neighborhood that you believe will spiral, list a corresponding neighborhood that will boom. Unless you think the DC MSA population is going to start trending downward for some reason it's a zero-sum game or better.[/quote] This isn't quite true, the constraining factor isn't neighborhoods but housing units. If we build new housing faster than the population grows, then a large number of areas could decline while a small number of densifying areas thrive. I don't think we're at risk of building that many housing units though. Like, even with DC's frantic pace of construction over the past decade, it has only just kept pace with the metro's population growth rate. And infill development is only going to get harder as the most obvious places for it gets built out.[/quote]
