•	 Foster a diversity of housing options—across affordability levels, building types, and/or household types—in all parts of the city.
•	 Address discrimination and practices that have led to segregation by race and economic status.
•	 [b]Provide income streams and wealth-building opportunities for homeowners willing and able to subdivide their homes or lots to provide additional housing.[/b]
•	 Reduce the environmental burden of the built environment by locating more housing near transit.
•	 Create more walkable neighborhoods.
•	 Respect the character and scale of neighborhoods within a changing urban context.
•	 Promote good design and visual appeal of DC’s neighborhoods.
