At the very lest we need a mixed building with part market rate and part affordable housing. Anyone who says this neighborhood is not ready for market rate apartments or condo's does not have a clear understanding of the current neighborhood. (just look at how well the Mint Living Condo's are selling & the new market rate apartments at Rhode Island Row are renting) The old days are gone. Let's use this building and tweak the plans to help continue the positive progress our neighborhood is experiencing. If built as currently proposed, it will be a major step in the wrong direction.RSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-25814264641752486942012-04-18T08:48:57.566-04:002012-04-18T08:48:57.566-04:00I'd like to know how someone who makes $40,000...I'd like to know how someone who makes $40,000 a year can afford a studio for $1,000 a month, and for that matter, why that neighborhood would support rents that high even if they were open to "market rate". I'd be very curious to see how well those new apartments right under the RI Ave metro are leasing, because i'd never pay what they are asking to live there when just a few stations further up in Takoma and Silver Spring you can get equal rent costs and better neighborhoods.Beenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-36903620638297374932012-04-18T05:34:36.395-04:002012-04-18T05:34:36.395-04:00The slipping facade thing is a bit over played her...The slipping facade thing is a bit over played here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-32001044747347930142012-04-17T22:29:03.195-04:002012-04-17T22:29:03.195-04:00H Street CDC is a publicly funded group that is su...H Street CDC is a publicly funded group that is supposed to be solely focused on...
