[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was artificially suppressed by post war white flight and suburban expansion and the riots added a couple of decades to that cycle. Now the reverse is happening coupled to the collapse of suburban isolation is creating a flood to limited markets with DC being one of them.[/quote] Yes, exactly. There’s only one other thing to mention: primarily due to terrible NIMBY zoning rules, DC has been rarely ever able to add denser housing to already built land. 20 years ago DC area supplied housing for people moving here by building in Loudon and MoCo. Now there are many fewer places to build. If we don’t fix our zoning rules and build more densely, we will never fix the COL problem.[/quote]
