Market preference gave us miles and miles of single family homes. If there were more demand for apartments at higher income levels, we would have more apartments. There are no legal impediments to growing the apartment stock by tens of thousands of units tomorrow. [/quote]

You've never met the people in charge of cleveland park zoning have you?[/quote]

DC alone has approved more than 10,000 units. The developers can build them whenever they want. The arguments about these projects are over. Not sure how many are in Cleveland Park, but there are some in Ward 3 and close to transit. Just 2-3 stops from Cleveland Park. Land is very expensive in Cleveland Park, so I’m sure developers won’t build unless they’re sure they can get top dollar. If you won’t be happy unless you live there, you’re going to need a higher paying job. That area is never going to be broadly affordable to a family making AMI. [/quote]

So ignorant. Almost funny. We live in a city of 700,000 people. 10,000 units is a drop in the bucket. Try again.

For the past 15 years DC has not built enough housing to keep up with job and population growth. Fact.[/quote]
