@meghangaffney @1776 I am?

@DanielKayHertz Interested in hearing how a community excluding non-members would work. How are members defined and who gets to decide who is excluded?

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@hgil @alex_block But that could be restated as, "the trade-offs inherent in life are off-putting."

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@alex_block Blocking more retail isn't going to keep rent cheap.

This is hilarious. https://t.co/OJDzKMc26E

Interesting: DC budget says population growth may not be enough to occupy all housing under construction or planned.

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@EconTalker I'm with you there, but wouldn't rental rates fall and land values increase?

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@EconTalker Great episode! Why do you think price of land in Manhattan would fall without zoning and rent control? Seems counterintuitive.

@joemmathews I don't think I can make it from the East Coast :(

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@joemmathews Is there a live stream?

My favorite is the guy who got rich selling land <1 block from FL Ave to a developer, now NIMBYing the development.

@gboeing I'll have to read it, but if he's using the same methods as his earlier papers it means homes are priced below replacement cost.

@DanielKayHertz Is there a school boundary there?

@FrozenTropics Red Rocks has a kid-friendly menu. And tasty pizza!

@matthewdfogarty @jbouie Yeah? It was the charred remains of an electrical fire before it was repurposed.

[Pat M. @Fitz_DC]

@GarberDC Can you imagine application being submitted before Union Market opened up & accompanying comm. activity? I certainly can't.

@raclar2 Existing zoning is more than sufficient to address your concerns about anarchy. HP is unrelated to those concerns.

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@raclar2 We already have zoning. Why is the city your playground?

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@raclar2 Ironic that your proposal *mandates* industrial buildings in this case.

[In My Backyard DC @IMBYdc]

@raclar2 I don't think historic preservation addresses those issues at all
