[quote=Anonymous]A population density of about 10,300 per square mile (the citywide density based on a population of around 700,000 and an area of 68.3 square miles) doesn’t even get the District into the top 100 densest areas in the country, according to these figures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density The fact that some neighborhoods are denser than that or denser than some other neighborhoods elsewhere does not mean the city, overall — the CITY, not the area — is very dense, as some people here are arguing. Since no one is proposing to lift the height limits much in the densest neighborhoods, those areas can’t really get a lot denser, anyway. It just isn’t true that D.C. is “already very dense,” unless your standard for “very dense” means “is denser than Santa Monica, California.”[/quote]
