lol, seriously if the rent is under 3000/month it will be cheaper than most of the surrounding areas. do you live here? this is the richest part of the city. median incomes are higher than even in georgetown.

same street, different trajectories.

in dc it is 'raze'. they were issued a 'raze permit' last month.

yeah Pike and Rose siphoned off the suburbanites and the revival of the central core of DC (city center/wharf/navy yard) meant that the area kinda was no-mans land. There is hope if the wisconsin corridor keeps getting denser, but that is still an open question.

yeah, here are the plans: https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/a-first-look-at-the-residential-transformation-for-dcs-mazza-gallerie-mall/19897

300+ apartments, with affordable housing making up a portion.

They could build more affordable apartments, but the developers didn't want to risk asking the neighborhood for permission (PUD), which could add decades to the process and risk financial ruin.

hey at least we aren't like any city in texas.

so i guess i'm a bit older than you, but i remember the old soldier field hosting the word cup 30 years ago. it was great.

but was rebuilt 20 years ago. not a fan of the remodel, but it is still in way better shape than fedex

the US team need home field advantage somewhere. they aint getting that on either coast.

soldier field is too small?

Hey, the respond to crimes on Wisconsin and Mass Avenue in ward 3 and embassy row. there was a shooting at the strip club next to the VP's home and it was mostly SSUP that responded.

lol just hang out in the sleepy parts of 2D. mostly just car crashes.

yup they drive dark green pickups with a calligraphy Z on them. the do a ton in Georgetown, Ward 3, and up the Potomac. They charge an arm and leg, I hope they pay their workers/subs well.

But they seem to be everywhere. Like you give them an example with iPhones or cars and they come to the right conclusion, but housing breaks their mind.

Oh agreed. Structures shouldn’t appreciate. But I don’t want to burden everyone with all the vagaries of home ownership.

I would be weary to buy a condo in DC. DC allows for development so condos are just a depreciating assets, since there will always be ‘more’. And there are still tons of lots available for development.

If the city was fully built out and there were so surface parking lots period, I’d consider it.

The condos in my neighborhood simply sell for their original price. The rowhomes have all appreciated, since you can covert them to condos.

Dc is the only major city in the US to have had median rents rise less than inflation over the last decade. The data is pretty clear about this.

Hey! They like to complain about airplane noise too! And they like protesting new sidewalk. Oh and they stonewalled the trolley trail. Let’s not paint them as one dimensional, they oppose lots of other things.

So 15 minutes extra compared to someone dropping me off if there is no traffic on 66?

Yeah, that sounds like nothing compared to the money saved on Ubers ($70 right now). That translates to a opportunity cost of time at $280/hour. Yeah, I’m saving the money.

Pretty much only driving if taking the entire family with luggage. (Which always made sense, even to DCA for us).

I’ve only done this once for my wife when she was coming back from a long trip with a pet. You don’t simply go out to Dulles, that pretty much takes up an half days worth of time.

Glover park has been unchanged in demographics since 1910. Used to have academics then (GU profs and scientists at the naval observatory), still has academics today (GU, AU profs, scientists and some economists/lawyers thrown in)

Kinda interesting how some areas are pretty constant and others have changed a ton.

This is why DC is starting to build more protected cycle tracks and such. But really they should just ban through traffic and install concrete and steel bollards at most intersections/make dead ends for cars.

Since enforcement has stopped, DC needs to make it physically impossible for cars to go into bike lanes and sidewalks.

You can get a bbl with a very very old coa. But op should still check with the city.

Some stuff is grandfathered. Worth checking, but older stuff sometimes gets a pass.

Honestly have you looked at smaller rowhomes? They usually have small back yards too, which is nice with a dog. 3.5k will get you some of the smaller 2bd ones in ok neighborhoods.
