Too many DC residents struggle to afford a home. Driving down housing costs requires more affordable and market-rate units — especially in areas with access to transit, businesses, and amenities. We will not let lawsuits stand in the way of the housing we need to make living in DC more affordable.

NEW: We defeated a lawsuit seeking to block new housing on upper Connecticut Avenue NW. The lawsuit challenged zoning changes that will allow multifamily housing in the DC neighborhood with the fewest affordable units. We’re fighting for more homes to drive down housing costs for everyone in DC.

Hey @ggwash.org, has @mattfrumin.bsky.social answered your question about the proposed FLUM yet? Every ANC in Ward 3 has a proposed change, and I would argue not nearly enough. This issue will be before the Council next year and voters deserve to know where their Councilmember stands on the issue.

Chevy Chase Historic District Nomination is asking the government to preserve a "community that was designed to be insulated from the cultural and economic diversity of the city." (page 6 of planning.dc.gov/node/1692351)

I generally avoid drawing attention to anti-democratic drivel, but: The size of your yard and years left on your mortgage does not determine whether you have a voice in Alexandria. We “owe” everyone a voice, young and old. Our residents are not “special interests.”

😂 and “what you clearly don’t understand is that the laws of supply and demand are irrelevant to our community.”

Love this video from the Sightline Institute which is a very approachable answer to the NIMBY challenge "Why do we need more market rate 'luxury' housing?" youtu.be/EQGQU0T6NBc
