Even more on disingenuousness

I wrote a couple times about 1500 Massachusetts Ave. NW, and the owner's statement that designating the building means that it will cease to be affordable. I countered with the fact that the area around the building is upscaling rapidly. One of the buildings I mentioned, but not by name, was the "Jefferson at Thomas Circle."

See:

-- Unbaffling yet another preservation story in the Washington Post.

This building was featured in the Post on Saturday in the Apartment Living section. The cost for apartments ranges from $1,795 to $4,205/month. See "A Peaceful Corner In Midst of Downtown."

Hmm, affordable housing...

Speaking of "inclusionary zoning," I think the concept should be extended to newly constructed apartments.
