Toronto and DC have seen prices flatline as new units come online

*DC is already really expensive and old neighborhoods are unaffordable except for the landed.

if DC would allow building up *to* the height limits around transit, things would be MUCH better

DC is a mega-region. The new units coming online in DC are expensive. Trust me, I lived there.

I lived there too. Eventually I couldn't go on seeing them refuse to hold around transit or improve, so I left

you can't turn a city into smthing it's not. NYC/Chi are dense transit cities with problems that can be fixed

because they start from the premise of being dense & transit oriented

but DC and the SFBay don't see themselves a dense & transit oriented, so making them so is near impossible

California doesn't have a financing or governance system that enables more density.

yep. The problems in CA are structural. Same w/DC & their ANC system. 1/2

Soon I realized I couldn't wait for them to become something they weren't & moved elsewhere.
