[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What are you talking about. Investors are buying up the rowhouses in DC and turning each one into condos. So, where one family used to share a four-level rowhouse, each floor has been converted to two and three bedroom condos. Thereby making the one-family unit into four separate families. So you’re wrong. Dad is becoming too densely populated in some areas. Some areas of the city are unrecognizable [/quote] And each of those condos cost as much or more than the original row house. This kind of density is not helpful. It's the textbook definition of gentrification. Which once was a home suitable for housing a family with children is now three or four shoddily flipped apartments suitable for DINKs or maybe high-earning singles. Families and lower earners are still pushed out.[/quote] That sounds like a personal complaint, not the city's problem. You can't afford to raise 3 to 4 kids in the city? Boo-hoo. Move.[/quote]
