[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 3000 homes in DC listed in zillow this morning.  A 3bd and2bath townhouse with nice photo is listed for $299k was on top of the list when I searched for 3 bedroom home.  [/quote]

BUT we need to knock down historical homes in shady Cleveland Park to build condos![/quote]

Please show proof of a historic house in Cleveland Park being razed for condos. (or being razed for any reason, for that matter)

[/quote]

Several have been razed in recent years.  There was an historic house that a develop bought and "by mistake" undermined the house during renovation and got DCRA to issue an "emergency" demolition order over a weekend.  The developer then got to build a brand new expanded house.  More recent instances involve flipper/developers ignoring approved plans and completely modifying the structures.  DC then lets it go.  In San Francisco, they would make a developer tear down or off anything that wasn't built according to plans.  DCRA must stand for the Developer Comfort and Rescue Administration.[/quote]

The house on Woodley Road was razed "by accident" and was replaced by...a house, not condos.

Still awaiting that example of historic houses in Cleveland Park being razed for condos.[/quote]
