[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Back on topic, it's hard to see the Connecticut Avenue corridor being viable without parking until you get down to Dupont Circle because the walkshed/bikeshed doesn't have enough people in it to support what's there. South of the Florida Ave, there are enough people to support.[/quote]

This is why it’s essential to add height, density and vibrant mixed-use development along the entire Connecticut corridor to Chevy Chase Cir.

No, it isn’t. You’re just nuts. [b]Buildings along Connecticut already have occupancy challenges[/b]. No one wants this and it is not needed. Ward 3 is not the least dense Ward in DC. [/quote]

Feds have already targeted voucher spending once under Biden and as DC's economic future dims, the vast overpayments for vouchers will likely take a hit. Who will live in the big buildings along Connecticut and Wisconsin with the addicts and the released convicts and the mentally ill at market rate, especially if MORE market rate housing is created? Congregate housing for people who are in need of wrap around services and supervision makes far more economic sense.

Prior to cv and the voucher program exploding, large older buildings were offering move in deals, a few months free rent, etc., traditional ways to lure new tenants who could pay for rent. [/quote]
