[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used 'the poors' ironically; obviously you didn't get it, but it is a DCUM trope to reflect your attitude.

The proposal is for an affordable housing building. That is what the Mayor and the ANC and the Councilmember all want and support.

Why people like you keep bleating on about market rate housing on the site is just baffling.[/quote]

The proposal is for the absolute minimum of affordable housing. Its going to be mostly housing for the wealthy, which will do jack shit for the city's affordable hosing crisis. Please try to keep up.[/quote]

Even market rate housing (which this project does NOT entirely consist of) helps make a dent in the affordability crisis. Try to keep up. [/quote]

No, it doesn't.

I read the "piece" and looked up the author cited in it. (I couldn't find the specific paper that the "piece" is characterizing.)  Interestingly he has a more recent paper out.  It concludes that upzoning leads to modestly more affordable housing AND a more reduces racial segregation.

He also appears to be a proponent of more public housing as the best solution to the housing crisis.  So would you be in favor of the city building very dense public housing projects on tht site to a private developer?[/quote]
