Do you realize how much supply would be increased, driving housing prices down and helping with racial integration?

To be fair, the US housing market is at least in part driven by people like my wife who insist on a SFH. With that said, she did give urban living a fair chance but that was in the early 2000s.

The decline of older suburbs might accelerate in that case as folks who now live in a 600k 1950s rambler in Rockville for affordability reasons could buy a classic 6 in the area formerly known as Woodley Park. Folks who want shiny and new on a limited budget would still live further out though. Not sure if Clarksburg/South Riding would become war zones as shiny and new lovers can now afford to build anew in Rockville and Wheaton (and the former residents of those areas flee further out) or if the HOAs would prevent the worst of the social ills from taking root.

What the heck is the "area formerly known as Woodley Park"?!

Racists and agists. They will never give a brown or black person any credit no matter how accomplished they are.

They already demonstrated that amply with President Obama.

The how to explain the support of Dr. Ben Carson and Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in the GOP??

Getting to 10 or 20% in a poll is not the same as winning the nomination.

True. But unlike Cruz in Texas and Rubio in Florida, Castro would have a very difficult time even winning statewide office in his home state of Texas.

Like herman cain, they'll never be the republican presidential nominee.

Even though cruz and rubio are white.

The problem is, your guy/client Castro is not terribly accomplished.

And let's not forget the mysogynists.

Apparently to these deranged people Hillary Clinton somehow has no accomplishments.

"Agists" (sic)? Did I actually guess right?

Your lack of reading comprehension is much more of a joke.

You should look to your own reading comprehension.

Don't know where I said you were a republican.

You implied that I, along with other posters debating you about this, were when you said that "republicans, racists from the sidelines don't want to improve the system". Also, I made many of the posts about Castro's lack of experience, and despite how it helps many people, it simply isn't qualifying enough for the Presidency.

You are entitled to your opinion like everyone else.

But refrain from saying that I accused you of being a republican when I didn't do so.

And do something about your lack of reading comprehension.

I have outlined the relevant sections in bold text, to allow you to see specifically how you accused me of being a Republican.

What I said was that people who make statements that call HUD inconsequential third tier agencies care nothing about the important work that they do to house the poor and downtrodden in this country.

I also offered my opinion about repugnant republican policies that care nothing for people in need.

Your narcissism made it about you.

Your lack of reading comprehension is really an issue you should address immediately.

DCUMers hate emojis.
