[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with more density but you can do it without getting rid of single family zoning.  The great thing about DC is that it has a mix -- my neighborhood has a lot of single family homes and townhouses bounded by apartment buildings on the avenues.  I don't want apartment buildings to replace the single family homes. It is good for the city to have some sth neighborhoods.  I think what we are really missing is more townhomes.  When they are built, they are HUGE. Let's build some more modest homes that are not apartments!  Many families want a little green space.[/quote]

How do you think those apartments were built? Because back then there was no zoning restricting them. Now they cannot be built. SFH only zoning needs to go, as do ridiculous “historical districts” and busybody ANCs weighing in on building permit applications. [/quote]

The apartments got built because the area was zoned for high density, as it is today.  Apartment buildings can still be built on major thoroughfares.[/quote]
